10 Barrel Brewing Co

To round off our Bend trip, here's the sampler platter from 10 Barrel Brewing Co. From the Irish Red, to the Apocalypse IPA, to the India Session Ale, I couldn't leave a single one off. Here's the stats on the IPA: 4 varieties of hops, 3 malts, 6.5% alcohol, and 65 IBU's.

Grunkles IPA

Straight from the Deschutes Brewery in Bend, this slightly malty IPA isn't as hoppy as I usually drink, but tasty nonetheless.

Red Chair NWPA

So this is perfect, I come home and Leah has pleasantly surprised me with one of my favorite brews from the 2010 Fremont Oktoberfest, Deschutes Red Chair NWPA.  Then, as I devour this delicious nectar of the Gods, I get an email about a blog which discusses the very drink I am consuming at this moment!  Is this serendipity?  The Red Chair NWPA is a little far from the river of IPA from which I frequently quench my thirst, but nonetheless worthy of this blog. This wonderful mix of malty brew with a light citrus hops kick is the perfect beer for any season, and any occasion.  Hopefully, you will all be as lucky as we were to find the debut of this great seasonal brew near you.  Enjoy!
