This is the Deschutes Brewery's main brewing facility in Bend, OR. This photograph was taken from the catwalk that runs above the bottling area.
Auction Winner:
The Abyss, 2009 Reserve: "The Abyss has immeasurable depth inviting you to explore and discover its rich, complex profile. Hints of molasses, licorice and other alluring flavors draw you in further and further with each sip. And at 11% alcohol by volume, you will want to slowly savor each and every ounce."
Auction Winner:
Deschutes Brewery's 50 Barrel JV Northwest brewing system, the first system installed (1993) and used in the main brewing facility after outgrowing its pub capacity.
Auction Winner:
Mirror Mirror, 2009 Reserve: "After an extremely limited release in 2006, we kept a small stash of Mirror Mirror, sending a few kegs to select festivals and pouring it at our pubs from time to time, where customers discovered this unique beer, and a loyal following was born. 'This year's brewing will have a more layered and refined oak presence,' says Brewmaster Larry Sidor. 'I'm really looking forward to this version of Mirror Mirror because it is not only an advancement for this beer, but it also shows the evolution of our knowledge related to barrel aging and how the whole Reserve Series has developed.'"
Auction Winner:
"Jack Kirby's Art is Pure" by Ian Seniff. 11" x 14" gouache on paper.
If you couldn't figure it out, this item is not a beer-related photograph and will not be signed by Gary Fish. It is, however, up for auction for the same cause thanks to our contributer Ian Seniff.
