The Dissident

When: October
What: Reserve Series (22-ounce wax-dipped bottles and draft)
Where: Available in all 15 states where Deschutes is sold

Description: Eighteen months in isolation, The Dissident is a distinctive Flanders-style brown ale, with a fruity aroma and flavor. Our only wild yeast beer, brettanomyces and lactobacillus impart its characteristic sour taste. Lavished with whole western Washington cherries – pits, stems and all – (which, by the way, our brewmaster picks out personally during family vacations, to the tune of much eye-rolling from his children). It’s our wildest, most expensively pampered beer.

Where: Available in all 15 states where Deschutes is sold
