Cascade Lakes Brewing out of Redmond, Oregon brewed two fresh hop beers this year, and on Friday they sent out a press release detailing them: Sizzle Juice Fresh Hop IPA and Frog Water Fresh Hop IPA. Both beers are available both in bottles and on draft, and they were pouring … Continue reading
My latest print article out this week is about fresh hops, but more importantly it documents the trip I got to take with Deschutes Brewery back in August to pick up hops for a charity beer. Fresh hop beers are brewing in Central Oregon: On Oct. 7, Deschutes Brewery is hosting … Continue reading
It’s been awhile since I’ve attempted to keep track of the fresh hops beers that are coming out, especially with so many breweries in Oregon these days brewing fresh hop beers. Keeping up to date on the Central Oregon is a bit more manageable, so keep watching this post as … Continue reading

Just as the title says: Beers for the eclipse! The week’s issue of the Bulletin’s GO! Magazine is eclipse themed so I compiled a list of all the eclipse-inspired beers that were brewed by Central Oregon’s breweries. Not everyone brewed an eclipse beer, and two share a name (Crux and … 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!

That’s the question posed by Crux Fermentation Project‘s new beer series making its way into bottles, kicked off by their new Peach Farmhouse which I wrote about for this week’s article in my local paper. If you walk into Crux Fermentation Project and ask, “What’s new?” odds are, … Continue reading
