Deschutes plans special release in December

Hot on the heels of releasing its popular imperial stout known as The Abyss, Bend’s Deschutes Brewery has another special brew planned for December.

The Class of ’88 Belgian-Style Strong Golden Ale is the third and final creation in the Class of ’88 Collaboration Series, which features beers brewed to celebrate the 25th anniversary of craft breweries around the country. The ale was brewed by Deschutes and Chicago’s Goose Island Beer Co., using “Michigan Riesling and Oregon Pinot Noir grapes, hops from Mt. Hood and pilsner malt — all aged in barrels that previously held Muscat wine … for 10 years,” according to a press release.

The beer is expected to be released with limited availability in December.
