What, what, what! Check out this press release regarding a Deschutes Brewery and Hair of the Dog collaboration! For the first time ever, Deschutes and Hair of the Dog will be working together on a beer to be released in 2011.
[Hair of the Dog’s Alan] Sprints came over to Bend in early March to brew two of his beers at the Deschutes Brewery brewhouse. Then it was Deschutes Brewery brewmaster Larry Sidor’s turn to brew two of his own beers. These four beers (which will remain unnamed as yet) will be aged in various wood barrels and then blended together sometime in early 2011 in a ratio yet to be determined as part of the creative process. Over the next several months, Hair of the Dog and Deschutes Brewery will be meeting to sample the aging beer and contemplate the blending process.
