Press Release: Deschutes seasonal kicks off new year
(December 12, 2008 – Bend, OR) Deschutes Brewery’s first seasonal release of the year, Buzzsaw Brown, honors the historic heritage of the brewery’s hometown of Bend, Oregon. The town’s history extends back to when workers spent long, hard days in the sawmills on the banks of the Deschutes River.
Buzzsaw Brown creates a tasty encore to the brewery’s winter seasonal, Jubelale. This will be Buzzsaw Brown’s third year as part of Deschutes’ strong seasonal line-up that also includes Cinder Cone Red and Twilight Ale. This remarkable brown ale is chestnut in color with a slightly sweet, biscuit-like flavor. Buzzsaw Brown is a highly drinkable beer that is rewarding for any occasion.
“Buzzsaw Brown is one of my favorite beers,” says Deschutes Brewery Brewmaster Larry Sidor. “The unique combination of the finest European and American malts makes it a very flavorful beer that pairs well with a wide variety of foods.”
Deschutes Brewery and Public House Head Chef Matt Neltner recommends pairing Buzzsaw Brown with Meatloaf and Malted Mashed Potatoes or your favorite Veggie Burrito.
Buzzsaw Brown will be available in 6-packs, 12-packs and on draft in 12 western states from January through March. Suggested retail for six-packs is $ 7.00 – 9.00.
4.8% Alcohol by Volume (ABV) 28 IBU

[...] BeerNew.org reminds us that another boysterous brown beseiges us from Bend. Say hello once again to Deschutes Brewing Company’s Buzzsaw Brown, the brewery’s first seasonal release of 2009. A meditative step down from the satiatingly skull-crushing tidal Abyss (A-beast is more like it), the Buzzsaw cuts through the final layers of this exceptionally wintry season with more flavor than your average brown. As Beervana’s Jeff Alworth notes, of Buzzsaw in his 2006 review: [...]
