    My top five would include Abyss, Mirror Mirror, Pinedrops, Hop Henge (miss that one), and three-way tie between Inversion, Mirror Pond, and Obsidian Stout.

    Damn good brewery.

    Deschutes is not distributed in MD but over the last year, I've been able to acquire their beers in VA and PA. For WIDE distributed brewer, I think they are my #1 ranked "hoppy" lineup brewery in the country. Hop Trip, Mirror Pond, Fresh Squeezed, Red Chair, and Chasin Freshies I've now had, and I've been blown away by nearly every one of these. Their bar is so high and I haven't anything "average" tasting from them yet.

    I've also had Mirror Mirror and Black Butte and Black Butte Aniversary, and all 3 of those are very solid /highly crafted as well for dark/big beers, but I think their hoppy lineup for a big distributor is what puts them on a pedestal at the top.

    I love Black Butte, its a very good English style porter. I really would love to try Abyss, Obsidian Stout, Mirror Mirror to name a few.

    Patience. Deschutes' east coast brewery might end up in Virginia.

    I've only had access to a handful of their beers but think Mirror Pond, Pinedrops, and Black Butte are all fantastic. I certainly wouldn't hesitate to try something else from them.
