Around this time each year, fans of winter ales celebrate when Deschutes Brewery releases Jubelale. If you're looking for a winter-warmer, there are few, if any, that are better than this one. The initial taste has enough bite to keep a hop-lover satisfied. The finish is warm and malty with festive notes. I suppose you could say, its the best of both worlds!
Since its inception over 20 years ago, Deschutes has been reaping the rewards of Jubelale. It won a gold metal at the 1990 Great American Beer Festival in the "strong ale" category. Not resting on its laurels, this brew took the silver medal at the 2007 Australian International Beer Awards. Needless to say, its been keeping beer drinkers satisfied for quite a while.
One of the neatest parts of this brew is its label. For the last 16 years, Deschutes has chosen the label art from a different Oregon artist. As such a popular beer here in the Northwest, it gains the artist who creates the label a lot of exposure. For a look back at the labels over the years, follow the link below. As Christmas approaches, Jubelale is the perfect beer to share with friends and family.
