Jamison lords over “Oakland,” the portion of Deschutes’ warehouse devoted to oak barrels from which its barrel-aged beers—such as The Abyss, The Dissident, and Black Butte³—emanate from.

From bourbon-aged stouts to wine-aged sour beers (to an amphora-aged bockbier), Deschutes’s offerings extend far beyond fresh squeezed IPAs into the realm of decidedly un-fresh wood-aged beers.
