Deschutes & Bandon Dunes Team Up For Sheep Ranch Lager & Bandon Pale Ale

Today I have two new collaboration cans coming from Deschutes Brewery in Bend, Oregon, and both releases are brewed exclusively for Bandon Dunes Golf Resort in Bandon, Oregon. These two beers celebrate the connection between Oregon’s world class golf destination and one of the state’s most respected craft breweries. The new releases include Sheep Ranch Lager at 4.5 percent ABV brewed with Tettnang hops, and Bandon Pale Ale at 5 percent ABV brewed with Cascade hops. Both beers will be packaged in 19.2 ounce cans, offering golfers and visitors a tall, refreshing option designed to pair perfectly with the rugged coastal landscape and the iconic golf experience Bandon Dunes is known for.

Sheep Ranch Lager is inspired by the dramatic coastal vistas surrounding the Sheep Ranch course. The beer features Tettnang hops, known for their herbal and floral aroma, which blend seamlessly with a bready malt character. The result is a crisp, balanced lager that mirrors the clean ocean air and the natural beauty of the Oregon coastline. Deschutes Brewery crafted this lager to be easy drinking, refreshing, and ideal for enjoying after a round on one of the most scenic golf courses in the world.

Bandon Pale Ale highlights the wild coastline and the quiet precision of the Bandon Dunes golf experience. Brewed with Cascade hops, this pale ale delivers bright citrus flavors supported by a subtle caramel sweetness. The beer is designed to be balanced, approachable, and flavorful without overwhelming the palate. It is a beer that captures the spirit of Bandon Dunes, where rugged natural surroundings meet thoughtful craftsmanship.

Both beers continue the growing partnership between Deschutes Brewery and Bandon Dunes Golf Resort. The collaboration brings together two Oregon institutions that share a commitment to quality, tradition, and the beauty of the Pacific Northwest. These 19.2 ounce cans will be available at Bandon Dunes, and fans should stay tuned for full availability details as these beers roll out across the resort.
