It’s National Drink Wine Day today, which I hope everyone is enjoying (even if it’s not beer—unless it’s barleywine, right?). In the meantime, here’s the news in Oregon beer for this February 18, which will continue to be updated through the rest of the day. Cheers and cin-cin!

It’s the brewery’s answer to the original accidentally-freeze-distilled keg of Jubelale that was stolen from the pub 30 years ago, returned for 2020. … Continue reading
Black Butte Whiskey, the collaboration between Deschutes Brewery and Bendistillery, returns for 2020—and this year for the first time, it’s the five-year aged version that will be available starting this Saturday, December 19.
