Deschutes Dissident Peach variant, Fresh Hop, Whiskey Butte and more upcoming releases
Bend, Oregon based Deschutes Brewery is gearing up for fall seasonal and limited release beers, and is right now shipping a rare variant of fan-favorite The Dissident.
Dissident Peach – A specialty release of the already pretty special Barrel-Aged Flanders-style Brown Ale usually released annually with cherries. This version of The Dissident is fermented wild yeast brewed with fresh Oregon peaches from Baird Family Orchards and aged in Deschutes oak barrels. An ode to the classic Oud Bruin, this new release reveals flavors including peaches and tannins with bright, pleasant acidity. Worthy of the name The Dissident. Bottles of Dissident Peach are shipping this week and will be available at the Bend and Portland brewpubs plus specialty retailers and maybe on the brewery’s online webstore. 10% ABV | 20 IBUs | 500ml bottles | $14.99
Whiskey Butte – Whiskey Butte, a Black Butte Porter variant aged in Whiskey barrels will make its package debut this September in 12 ounce, 4 pack bottles. This craft beer brings in the lovely oak character of the brewery's big strong barrel-aged beers at a very approachable strength and drinkability. Brushes of vanilla, bourbon and oak notes combine in a rich and bold porter. Image asset link here. 9% ABV | 35 IBUs | 4 pack 12-ounce bottles | $9.99
