#Deschutes2Roanoke Becomes Reality.

I hadn’t planned it this way, but for what its worth, it did work out well, didn’t it?

My last post to the blog was some time ago. But I figured given the topic, if it had to stand on its own without any updating or polishing up, it would do perfectly fine. Considering that it covered one of my first experiences with a Deschutes Brewing beer, and given all the growing curiosity Roanoke has had over whether the West coast brewery – and the 7th largest in production among “craft” breweries in the US (2014) – would pick the Star City as the site for its East coast location, the post seemed better than any to adorn the blog while I took care of a few non-blog related things.

Today, we can finally add the accompanying, and appropriate, bookend to that post.

Deschutes is coming to town.

In the coming weeks, I’d like to share a few other experiences that I’ve had over the years with their beers, as an attempt at perhaps a “primer” of sorts for some of the breweries’ ales.

For today, I think this simple post will do just fine.

Welcome to Roanoke, Deschutes.

By the way…a more immediate primer will be available, apparently, at this weekend’s “Big Lick – For The Love of the Brew” beer festival, where at least a couple of beers from Deschutes’ beers will actually be available – quite a kick off, right?
