If you missed out on the Deschutes tasting at Bottles last night, then, well, you certainly missed out.

(Never mind that we gave you the wrong time… It was 5-7pm, not 6-8pm. We maintain we were given the wrong time. Or that we were given the time after a few too many sips at their wine tasting. Either way.)

Anyway! The beers sampled should be familiar to most, but for a quick walkthrough…

• Jubelale! A good, but not great entry into the Jubelale line of seasonals. They also handed out some really cool (and well produced) Jubelale posters.


• Mirror Mirror! The barleywine based on Mirror Pond. Always a fun one.


• Black Butte XXI! My personal favorite is the Black Butte Porter on Crack. (Its official name.)


• The Abyss! The legendary Deschutes reserve.

Bottles probably still have some bottles left, so run pick some up. And remember, each bottle has a “Best After” print on them. In other words, store them like you’d store a wine.
