Healthy rivers are very important to us at Deschutes, especially since it’s one of the main sources we tap into to make great beer.  If we don’t have clean rivers, our beer and the craft beer industry in Oregon wouldn’t be where it is today.

“Deschutes Brewery has used whole leaf hops (and have invested heavily behind them) from day one because we believe they yield a better beer with  better flavor. It is interesting to note that, when we believe we can get better flavor we have, and do, use some pellets and even extract.
