November 22, 2012 (Thursday)
HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE
DESCHUTES JUBELALA A FESTIVE WINTER ALE
12 FLUID OUNCES, 6.7% ALC. BY VOL.
Deschutes Brewery, Bend Oregon
++1/2
 
 
FROM THE LABEL: " Festive 25th Anniversary winter ale. Best by 04/22/13."
 
FROM THE MOUTH: WINTER WARMER/ALE: I want to live in the label- yes!?

"The 2012 Jubelale label artwork is a grand amalgamation of 25 years of art. The 2012 label is literally “layered” with meaning –the artwork was created through a complex collaging process by Bend, Oregon artist Kaycee Anseth Townsend. She uses small scraps of paper to create designs, and she comprised the 2012 packaging entirely from pieces of Jubelale labels from years past. Fans may even be able to see a recognizable scrap or two from years gone by inside the incredibly intricate final design.
Anseth Townsend said, “My artistic process of collaging a completely new image from tiny bits of paper often feels like working a puzzle, and using only the past years Jubelale labels as my materials for this project added an extra challenge to the process. It allowed me to really get to know each past label, appreciate the work that went into each one, and also think about how I could repurpose different aspects of that work: sky was used to create snowflakes, snow became light, cabin roofs became trees, a pint glass became a lamppost.”
 
Aroma is coffee malt sweet and taste follows nose. A wonderful mild roasted coffee/cola malt and at 60 IBU's the roasted hop presence balances perfectly with the malt. A lovely beer on a cold Thanksgiving evening sitting around the fire. A+

 
 
FROM THE STORE: Trader Joe's
 
Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I love my family and to my Dad who taught us all to sing, "100 bottles of beer on the wall" on those long car rides back from the Jersey shore. I love you Dad.

drink yer' beer
