Drink of the Week: Deschutes Fresh-Squeezed IPA
In the Pacific Northwest,
hops could easily be considered a food group all its own. A key ingredient to
the region’s piney, citrusy, ever-so bitter IPAs, hops are a Northwest brewer’s
best friend. And today’s Drink of the Week—the Fresh-Squeezed IPA from Bend,
Oregon’s Deschutes Brewery—combines a trio of these resinous flowers (mosaic,
citra and nugget) with a subtle mix of malts for an assertively hop-forward
West Coast-style IPA. A recent addition to Deschutes’ year-round lineup, the
Fresh-Squeezed IPA started its nationwide roll out earlier this month, just in
time for beer-and-barbecue season. deschutesbrewery.com for distribution
