Deschutes Beer Comes to Utah
Utah State liquor stores will soon be carrying two award-winning beers from Oregon's Deschutes Brewery , founded by Utah native Gary Fish.

“I feel very proud to be able to bring great beer back to a state we love,” said Fish.

The company, located in Bend, Oregon, will offer Utahns its "Mirror Pond Pale Ale" and "Black Butte Porter."

Mirror Pond has been called the “quintessential American pale ale,” Fish said. Refreshing and loaded with with citrus hop flavors, it has been winning awards for more than 15 years. Most recently, it received a gold medal at the 2008 World Beer Championships.

Black Butte Porter is the best selling porter in the country and has enjoyed a loyal and passionate following since its first made in 1988, said Fish. It has hints of cocoa, coffee and roasted malts and was voted Best Porter by readers of Northwest Brewing News in 2007 & 2008.
