(Bend, OR) – Received a tip that something went awry with Deschutes The Dissident production this year but it looks like all turned out OK. Says Deschutes Brewery Digital Marketing Manager…

It’s a long story but we ended up buying a small bottling machine just for The Dissident which delayed its release. Volumes of The Dissident were not affected, though. We are releasing it in bottles only this year [in distribution]. About 1,800 cases total will be distributed out to 18 states.

Bottling eventually took place on August 20th and some of The Dissident was released in the pubs (both in bottles and on draft) on September 7th. The rest of the production run (save for anything being held back for events, etc.) is now shipping to wholesalers.
