Hello, fall. Seems like this rain and wind came out of nowhere. Suddenly, I'm craving hot soup and dumplings, and buying hot chai instead of iced. If you're feeling reminiscent about summer, there is one thing to look forward to -- the first holiday beer of the season, brewed by our favorite micro, Deschutes Brewery. Ta-da! JUBELALE!
Deschutes Brewery is hosting the inaugural pouring of that very spiced, gut-warming winter ale tomorrow at the Bond Street pub in Bend, and Thursday at the Pearl pub in Portland. Come meet local artist Tracy Leagjeld, who designed the 2009 label. The Jubelale label is designed by a different Oregon artist every year. Leagjeld will be at the pubs, displaying the original artwork and signing posters.
"Brewed with dark crystal malt creating a luscious holiday note with bountiful hops to excite your taste buds— it’s easy to see why Jubelale is the perfect complement to the season."
The Head Brewers will be tapping their respective kegs at the pubs at 5:00 p.m. sharp, don't miss it!
