(Bend, OR) – Found this dropped into my inbox today. Here are the details on this fall’s special releases from Deschutes Brewery: Jubelale, The Dissident and The Abyss.
Jubelale
When: October-December
What: Winter Seasonal (6-packs, 12-packs and draft)

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.
Beer Stats: 9% Alcohol by Volume (ABV), 30 IBUs
The Abyss
When: Late November
What: Reserve Series (22-ounce wax-dipped bottles and draft)
Where: Available in all 15 states where Deschutes is sold
Description: The Abyss has immeasurable depth inviting you to explore and discover its rich, complex profile. Hints of molasses, licorice and other alluring flavors draw you in further and further with each sip. And at 11% alcohol by volume, you will want to slowly savor each and every ounce. 2010 marks the fifth release of this dark and mysterious imperial stout.
