from deschutes brewery:   R ed Chair NWPA  | Somewhere in between a big IPA and a well balanced Pale Ale, this seasonal, hop-forward Northwest Pale Ale packs a citrus punch. Don't wait around or you'll miss the most thrilling ride of the winter. Ride the red chair.   H op Henge Experimental IPA | Our annual experiment in IBU escalation. New hop processes, experimental hops and boat loads of Millennium, Cascade, Centennial, and Chinook hops result in massive aromas and flavors.          T he Dissident  | Pucker up! This Flanders-style sour brown ale is hardly ordinary. With tart pie cherries and Brettanomyces, this barrel-aged beer is extraordinary. December 12th release.   AltBitter Co...

Black Jackal - An Imperial Espresso Double Shot February 12th 2013: Coffee stouts have always held a special place in our hearts as one of the three original Phillips brews, and this year's Imperial version--brewed in collaboration with our friends at 2% Jazz Coffee Co.--is an 8% 650mL double shot! Pouring a deep black earth colour, rich roasted coffee flavours and hints of dark chocolate guide your palate through a java-laden journey. Methodically crafted with only the best local espresso, this one-eyed jackal is no wildcard. Available at finer craft-friendly private liquor stores for a limited time only. We'd also like to invite you to pop by the brewery on February 14th from 4-6, to treat your valentine to a special draft tasting of this coffee infused collaboration. Sam from 2% Jazz will also be on hand to celebrate the magic of brewing with barley and beans.

hangover cure

and the winning (scientific) hangover cure in the steamworks contest is: Scientific Solution: 1. Rehydrate - start with water. 2. Rebalance your electrolytes: sports drink, banana (potassium), maybe a fruit smoothie (for some additional vitamins, nutrients and raw sugar energy). 3. Remove the acetaldehyde (toxic byproduct of metabolizing alcohol) with some eggs for breakfast (cysteine breaks it down). 4. Reduce the headache with some caffeine (once your hydration is under control). While it wakes you up so you ca face the day, caffeine is also a vasoconstrictor, which can help reduce a headache. Note: Tea will be easier on the stomach than an acidic coffee. Cheers!
