Deschutes Zarabanda Bottles This Fall
Deschutes Brewery’s (Bend, OR) Zarabanda will find its way into bottles this fall. Zarabanda is a chef driven saison, meant to be paired with food. The list of ingredients include lemon verbena, pink peppercorn, sumac (a tart spice), and dried lime. Spicy saisons offset food flavors beautifully.
We looked to acclaimed Chef Joe Andres to help us create a Spanish take on the farmhouse style saison. The addition of Lemon Verbena, pink peppercorn, sumac, and dried lime infuse the chef’s distinctive flavors into the brew – an ale purposefully crafted to compliment all your culinary endeavors. Or be savored all by itself.
Chef Jose Andres worked with Deschutes on this creation, debuting it at Aspen Food & Wine in June. Zarabanda will be available in 22oz bottles.

Deschutes Doppel Dinkel Bock
This third Conflux Series brew features a collaboration with Distelhauser Brewery of Germany who have been brewing beer since 1811. A connection between our two breweries was discovered over 10 years ago, so we thought it was high time we created a beer together to celebrate this beautiful friendship! Our brewmasters decided on a Doppel Dinkel Bock or Imperial Spelt Beer. Spelt is an ancient wheat traditionally used in baking bread. In the beer, it creates a malty flavor with hints of spice, clove, banana and a trace of citrus. This beer is smooth, full bodied and super drinkable! Prost!
