Received: Fresh hop beers from Deschutes
Several beers from Deschutes Brewery arrived today: Super-fresh bottles of fresh hop beers! Ironically I just bought a bottle of Chasin’ Freshies on Friday but I’m more than happy to drink two. (Or more!)

Jubelale 2012 artwork (and release)

I’ve also already sampled the XXIV, and wrote a small amount about it (during a vertical with … Continue reading →
