flavours of the season from deschutes:

BLACK BUTTE XXIV
Our 24th Anniversary Release is back in black with a couple of new additions this year including fresh Daglet dates and Mission figs. You'll still get flavors of dark chocolate and Bourbon roasty goodness but after one sip...you'll be hooked. Grab a few bottles for aging and one for now! Cheers to 24 years of Deschutes beers!
RESERVE SERIES
11.0% ABV | 55 IBU's
Availability: Now in 22-oz bottles and draft in limited quantities
 
 
THE DISSIDENT
Pucker up, sour fans...it's time for the return of our favorite Flanders-style brown ale. As our only bottled wild yeast beer, we use fresh tart pie cherries from Oregon and Brettanomyces to give this beer unique flavors and aromas that will have you singing, "Wild Thing" by The Troggs. Snag a bottle while they last and savor the sour!
RESERVE SERIES
~10.5% ABV | ~30 IBU's
Availability: Very limited in 22-oz bottles beginning mid-September

HOP TRIP
Each year at the beginning of the fall season, Deschutes brewers head over the pass to Doug Weather's hop fields near Salem, Oregon for the harvest. After bagging these aromatic green cones of awesomeness, we hustle back to toss these hops into the brew kettle within four hours of picking. Our reward: a pale ale with a bright citrus flavor and an amazing floral hop aroma. Take the trip with us, the Hop Trip!
BOND STREET SERIES
5.4% ABV | 38 IBU's
Availability: 6-packs and on draft in late September

CHASIN' FRESHIES
The first time in a bottle, this Fresh Hop IPA is perfect for the fall season and packs a citrusy punch! We're always seeking the freshest powder on the mountain or the freshest hops from the harvest and this beer will quench your desires for both. Fresh Heirloom Cascade Hops from our friends at Goshie Farms are added to the brew for flavor and aroma to delight your taste buds. Be sure to chase this beer down and enjoy as fresh as possible!
BOND STREET SERIES
7.2% ABV | 65 IBU's
Availability: 22-oz bottles beginning late-September

brewing up gender parity

My article on gender parity is on the Growler website! BREWING UP GENDER PARITY: THE QUEST FOR BEERQUALITY REBECCA WHYMAN •  JUNE 13, 2019 Women are markedly underrepresented in craft beer. This is not news to anyone. But have you ruminated on just how large the gender gap is?  A 2018 survey by Nielsen-Harris  found American craft beer drinkers are 68.5 per cent male and 31.5 per cent female. Closer to home,  BeerMeBC’s 2018 survey  had those numbers at 71 and 29 per cent, with 0.32 per cent identifying as “other.” For those not so strong in the math department, that means that there are only three women drinking craft beer for every seven men. If you were a straight man looking for a date, you wouldn’t like those odds at all. And I can tell you, as one of those three women, it’s not much fun being outnumbered everywhere I go to enjoy my beloved craft beer, delightful as those seven men may be. Drinking craft beer is the easy part—when we move into the sections of craft

zywiec polish beer

and now for something completely different a polish beer! zywiec - and i have no idea how to pronounce that! its poland's #1 premium beer (according to the bottle) it has a thermometer label when you can see the name in colour, its the right temperature to drink sounds a bit too much like those darned mountains that turn blue when the piss-poor mass market beer is cold enough to not give you any indication of its stinky nose but i digress... pours wonderfully clear light caramel colour nice head on the vigourous pour 5.5% this is a lager i can get into! crisp and mildly hopped its everything a pilsner should be and its delicious a great session beer on the bottle:  "since 1856 this premium beer has been brewed according to the original zywiec brewer's recipe from the best natural ingredients.  contains finest malted barley, choicest hops and pure mountain water." no clue what the website says as its in polish but wikipedia has this little histor

LABEL OF LOVE: THE CREATIVE WORLD OF MODERN BEER CAN ART REBECCA WHYMAN •  OCTOBER 15, 2018 Clockwise from top left: Electric Bicycle Brewing Co.; Mikkeller’s Hallo Ich Bin Berliner Weisee; the beer label artwork of Vancouver artist Patrick Wong; Superflux’s Superfluousness. Contributed/file photos You can’t help it, I can’t help it—we all judge beers by their labels, maybe as much as we judge the beer itself. Beer labels have been around for ages: 83 years on cans, and much longer than that on bottles. It appears we’ve been loving beer labels for that whole time—just check out all the vintage labels you can buy on eBay! Doesn’t it seem, though, that we’re loving beer labels extra hard right now? Maybe it’s that size matters. Beer cans, especially those tall boys, offer lots of real estate for labelling. Large-format bottles provide a sizeable canvas as well. Maybe it’s as simple as habituation. Humans aren’t that different from crows; we’re attracted to bright, shiny obje
