    Good Stuff! Thoroughly enjoy their beers. All beers they listed are solid IMO. My immediate favorite is the Abyss, but their porter is great as well.

    Surprised Fresh Squeezed didn't make the cut. Good beers, nonetheless.

    Deschutes is awesome, my favorite of the "big" breweries. Mirror Pond is near perfect; smooth, easy drinking, reasonably priced. Black Butte is rock solid. Chasin' Freshies isn't my favorite. Abyss stands separate from most of its ilk. The Black Butte XX series is easily my most anticipated yearly release. The rest of their stuff is really good.

    I've had their BB porter, NW Pale, Jubelale, Fresh Squeezed, and twilight Summer Ale....all were fantastic.

    I think Deschutes brews really solid beers. Looking forward to tasting The Abyss this Sunday, hopefully I can participate in the online tasting.

    I have been able to enjoy a few Deschutes even though I live in Jersey thanks to France44. Wish they used cans so the shipping would be cheaper. Have yet to be disappointed.

    Alphabetically, The Abyss is tenth behind Black Butte Porter, Cascade Ale, Chasin' Freshies 2015,
    Fresh Squeezed IPA, Hop Henge Experimental IPA, Inversion IPA, Mirror Pond Pale Ale, Obsidian Stout and Red Chair NWPA. "The Abyss" is its name.

    Yeah, that's a good'un. Haven't had Freshies, but considering the accuracy of the rest of the list, I'll bet it's damn good.

    Chain breaker is their only beer I could care less about. Everything else I've had is great.

    This brewery has been doing it right for years. Fell in live with them when I discovered Black Butte Porter on tap in 1997! It is still my favorite porter.

    Definitely prefer Obsidian to their porter. Fresh Squeezed is also very underrated.

    Hard to pick.

    I've been to the brewpub locations in Bend and Portland, and there's so many good offerings there that aren't bottled. Those Oregon folks have it so good. I hope they know and appreciate that. I bow humbly before Deschutes.

    Everyone freaks out over the porter. It's nice, but they make better beers. (Mayflower will always be my favorite....Dragoon does a great job too!)

    I'm a big fan of Jubelale. Probably the best winter warmer on the market.

    Hop Trip is great too. Loved Chasin' Freshies last year, this year was kinda "meh". Abyss of course but that goes without saying.....

    If I had to pick out of the regular lineup though, I'd say Inversion or Mirror Pale Ale. You can't go wrong with anything they make really.
