Production & Heritage

Deschutes Brewery was founded in 1988 as a brewpub in Bend, Oregon, and has grown into one of the Pacific Northwest's most decorated craft breweries. The brewery remains family and employee-owned, a rarity at its scale. Because this is a seasonal rotation pack, the specific beer style, ingredients, and brewing approach change throughout the year — meaning each purchase reflects what Deschutes brewers consider their best expression of the current season. The brewery was also named Brewery of the Year at the 2022 Best of Craft Beer Awards, where it collected three gold medals out of five total honors.

What to Expect

Because the Deschutes Seasonal 6-Pack rotates its contents, fixed tasting notes cannot be assigned to this product. However, Deschutes' seasonal releases have historically spanned a wide range — from rich, malt-forward winter warmers and fresh-hopped fall ales to lighter spring and summer styles. The brewery's track record across multiple international competitions indicates a consistently high standard across all seasonal offerings.

General character: Expect well-balanced, full-flavored beers brewed with Pacific Northwest ingredients. Deschutes is known for clean fermentation profiles, thoughtful hop selection, and a house style that favors drinkability over extremes. Some seasonal bottles include live yeast, which allows the beer to age gracefully and stay fresher longer.

How to Drink Deschutes Seasonal

Serve chilled in the appropriate glassware for the style — a tulip or snifter for darker, maltier releases and a pint glass or pilsner glass for lighter seasonal ales. Because the style rotates, cocktail applications are limited, but shandy-style drinks work well with lighter summer seasonals, and beer floats pair surprisingly well with richer winter releases.
