With a drinkability that compares to session ales

Deschutes Brewery honors its namesake Central Oregon river with a brand-new, year-round beer dubbed Deschutes River Ale. The new brew, which underwent several experimental batches at the brewery’s pubs over the past few months, will hit shelves in the spring of 2013.

The beer will be released in six-packs and draft to craft beer fans across the western United States and Canada.

Sunday Toona - Deschutes River Recordings

The Deschutes Brewery is stepping out into the music scene with locally produced videos of nationally recognized artists performing river inspired covers songs, live on the banks of the Deschutes River. 

The videos are an attempt to raise money and awareness for the Deschutes River Conservancy, an organization that focuses on sustaining the quality of the river for both human use as well as a habitat for wildlife.

Raise a Pint for River Restoration

The Deschutes Brewery recently made a one billion gallon annual water restoration commitment to it's namesake river through the Deschutes River Conservancy's water leasing program. 

Through the program, local farmers are paid for the lease of their irrigation water and then that water is legally protected instream. In the spring and summer, water flows are greatly decreased in the river due to irrigation withdrawals. By increasing flows in the Deschutes River through the leasing program, fish habitat is revitalized and water quality is improved.
