New Market Launches
If you didn’t already hear, we just spent a couple weeks hanging out with our new fans all over Ohio and Kentucky. Those aren’t the only places we’re launching this year. Look for Deschutes in central Pennsylvania this April and the Pittsburgh area in early summer (greater Philadelphia started receiving our beers year-round in 2013). Later in the year, fans in Wisconsin (July) and Michigan (September) will also be able to find their favorite Deschutes Brewery beers in their home states.
When: Late April
What: Reserve Series (22-ounce wax-dipped bottles and draft) With the expansion of our coveted Reserve Series this year, fans will be happy to hear about a new addition to the lineup: “Not the Stoic”. This contemplatively brewed Belgian-styled quad was aged and sequestered in Rye Whiskey and Pinot Noir barrels, resulting in a complex flavor that is an entirely new rendition (with a nod to the original “The Stoic” that was released in 2011).

Hop in the Dark Cascadian Dark Ale
When: April-May
What: Bond Street Series (22-ounce bottles and draft)
After taking a brief hiatus from its spot in our summer Bond Street Series, our Cascadian Dark Ale, Hop in the Dark, returns for a special appearance. Originally released in 2010 with great aplomb (it’s amazing what 22 test brews can do), this colored hop assault quickly became a darling of the Black IPA movement. The citrusy hop and roasted malt flavors are “masterfully balanced” and satisfy both the dark beer and hop head in all of us. We hope you’ll join us as we say “welcome back!”

It’s a bummer having to wait until September for Deschutes in Michigan because I was really hoping to get some of their Twilight summer ale again this year. I love that stuff.
