Deschutes

For Ben Edmunds of Breakside Brewery in Portland, Oregon, those early beer infatuations were strong and malty. For his dream six-pack, Edmunds reaches back into fond memories to select the ones that broadened his idea of what beer could be.

Whether creating new products or improving existing ones, Deschutes has put its money where its mouth is—with an industry-leading innovation brewhouse, rigorous brew schedule, and a culture of constant improvement.

Barley, hops, water, yeast, and… the cloud?

Veronica Vega, the head brewer at Dechutes Brewing Co. in Bend, Oregon walks us through the creation, trial, error, and eventual completion of the brewery's new light pilsner.

It doesn’t take long for anyone with the slightest interest in good craft beer and the great outdoors to fall head over hiking boots for Bend, Oregon.
