’Tis the season for… Jubelale! We’ve waited oh so patiently and tomorrow’s the day when @DeschutesBeer releases its beloved seasonal winter ale. (Fun fact: Jubelale was Deschutes Brewery’s first bottled beer. 👏👏👏)Thirty years later and it’s still making our taste buds wish they had taste buds.⠀ ⠀ Local Bend mixed-media artist MaryLea Harris created the artwork for the 2017 Jubelale—a series of four unique snowflakes you’ll find mixed and matched in each six-pack. Catch her at the Jubelale launch party tomorrow night #inBend for a poster signing and convo about the complex process she went through (recycling old Jubelale posters and local newspaper articles about Deschutes Brewery, layering brush strokes and acrylic ink drips, and hand painting each snowflake) to create this year’s label.⠀ ⠀ October 16 || Deschutes Brewery Bend Public House || 5-8 p.m.⠀ ⠀ #tenthmonthbend @maryleaharrisart⠀ ⠀ 📷: Deschutes Brewery — view on Instagram http://ift.tt/2yoUXji

Thirteen years ago, iPods dominated the market, Skype wowed the world, a thing called “The Facebook” was all the rage on college campuses, and if you had a one-megapixel phone camera, you were doing alright.

(Is “14” the new lucky number? Let’s see, shall we?) It all happens October 19-20th during #TenthMonthBend.⠀ — view on Instagram http://ift.tt/2xE8Bx2
