Quick note: Deschutes Hopzeit Autumn IPA 2017

Just some quick Friday night thoughts about this year’s edition of Hopzeit Autumn IPA from Deschutes Brewery, as I sip through the last of the three bottles they sent me. I’m still happy that Deschutes is putting out a fall seasonal beer in lieu of a Jubelale early release. Someday … Continue reading

This arrived from Deschutes Brewery just before the weekend: Their Hopzeit Autumn IPA, which first released last year and which I reviewed (and enjoyed). And if you’re wondering about the release of an “autumn” beer in August, well… it’s much better than releasing Jubelale in August or September!
