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.
