Portland & Bend, OR - Starting from right now, we advise those without plans on the 29th of January (aka, Saturday), that live in Portland or Bend, to visit a Deschutes Pub.
For one day only both Portland and Bend Deschutes Public Houses will be commemorating Bend Winterfest with a limited edition release. Named after orphaned hops that were discovered in the brewery cooler, Giraffe on Ice Skates is a Belgian-style Ale brewed with Hibiscus. Stop in and purchase a pint of this oddly conceived of ale and receive an Onpoint Credit Union sponsored Bend Winterfest button.

About Deschutes Brewing
Located in beautiful Bend, Oregon, Deschutes Brewery is in the business of daring people to expect more from their beer. That's why we started off in 1988, on the banks of the Deschutes River here in Bend, Oregon, by selling Black Butte Porter at a time when others were sure a dark beer would never catch on. Our brewers love to push the envelope, especially if it makes someone nervous. But for us, the highest praise is a raised glass and a toast of "Bravely Done!"
