The perfect gift for any beer lover! Stay tuned for new variants Coconut Abyss and Black Forest Abyss releasing in 2022.

Black is Beautiful Joining Weathered Souls in the Black is Beautiful collaboration across the craft industry in the U.S., bringing awareness and change to racial injustice, we’re raising a glass from Bend, Oregon, with a bourbon barrel aged, mixed culture version of the Black is Beautiful Imperial Stout. Truly a community effort, this brew aged for over a year. Ready for release at Deschutes Brewery locations on November 19^th, 100% of proceeds will be donated to the Coalition of Communities of Color in Portland, Oregon. With notes of rich roast, dark chocolate and molasses, this release is 10% ABV and will be featured in 500ml bottles donated by O-I. Many thanks to Ale Apothecary, Oregon Spirits Distillers, Rose City Labels and O-I for their generous contributions to this project.

Coming Spring 2022 – Peanut Butter Obsidian Stout Inspired by peanut butter whiskey drinkers, we’ve crafted a barrel-aged version of our classic Obsidian Stout brewed with peanut butter and milk sugar, then aged in whiskey barrels. Who knew peanut butter whiskey would become as American as apple pie?  We sure didn’t see it coming but, hey, we’ll cheers to that! Ready for release in April 2022 in 12-ounce 4 packs.

9% ABV | 40 IBUs | $11.99 

More New Releases!

Non-Alcoholic Black Butte Porter A sneak peek of this brand new launch in the NA space for release in early 2022. Black Butte Porter, the beer that put this small town brewery on the map in the 80’s, remains the #1 selling porter in the US. Deschutes’ longstanding commitment to quality and reputation in the craft brewing industry will bring a more flavorful craft drinking experience to one of the fastest growing categories in craft. This high-quality NA beer rivals the experience of a full-strength craft beer.

6 pack cans | $11.99

Red Chair NWPA Hot on the heels of Deschutes seasonal Jubelale, Red Chair Northwest Pale Ale will hit the market mid-December, now in 12 pack cans. This limited winter seasonal has been among the breweries top selling seasonals for over a decade. This year, we wanted to freshen it up so introduced Mosaic Lupomax to the recipe, a lupulin hop powder that delivers more aroma and less astringency than traditional whole or pelletized hops. Red Chair delivers a citrus punch of a big IPA with select specialty malts rounding out a complex Pale Ale. Available everywhere Deschutes is sold in 12-ounce, 6 pack bottles and 12-ounce 12 pack cans and on draft.

6.2% ABV | 60 IBUs | $9.99

Small Batch Exclusive Reserve

Introducing Maskerade, a big barrel-aged Imperial Brown Ale brewed in collaboration with Alesong Brewing & Blending in Eugene, Oregon. Turns out good things can come from 2020 as this beer was raised during the pandemic, aging for 18-months in brandy & bourbon barrels, then blended with Dee Wright Imperial Brown, a 2021 Great American Beer Festival silver medal winner from Deschutes’ Bend, Oregon pub. Notes of toffee, brown sugar, brandy, butterscotch, vanilla, and whiskey​. Releasing late December in 500ml bottles at Deschutes Brewery’s pubs and tasting room with limited distribution in Oregon.
