Buzzsaw Brown is Back
It’s my favorite beer from my favorite brewery and now Buzzsaw Brown Ale is finally back in season. Deschutes Brewery only offers this beer from April through June when it is replaced by the far less spectacular Twilight Ale. If you see Buzzsaw Brown for sale please be sure to leave a comment and let me know where I can get my hands on some.
Deschutes Brewery is based in beautiful Bend, Oregon where Theresa and I made nightly visits to their Brewpub last summer on our Bend side-trip driving back from San Francisco. Buzzsaw is named for the logging industry that created Bend along the Deschutes river. The largest sawmill is still there and is now an REI store anchoring the Shops at the Old Mill District, just across the river from the brewery.

So far in Honolulu I have only seen Mirror Pond, Obsidian Stout, and Black Butte Porter (from Deschutes). My brother back home told me all winter about how great the Inversion and Jubelale were, grr.
I still remember you bringing in the Hop Trip for me from Larry’s market. Have you tried the Hop Henge this year?

Well at least you were in Honolulu all winter. The Inversion IPA is actually available year round and is almost the same intensity as the Hop Henge IPA from last year, in fact I suspect it is the same recipe.
Hop Henge was an Imperial IPA this year and it would knock you out of your chair at 8.1%
Buzzsaw Brown is great because it’s just like a lighter version of the Porter for Spring. I’ve got the last 12 bottles of it from the local shop that I’ve stashed away to save for out of town visitors. Are you coming back to the mainland this summer?
