BEND, OR—Deschutes Brewery is coming to Nebraska! The Oregon-based brewery will be working with Johnson Brothers of Nebraska, part of Johnson Brothers Liquor Company which has been serving the greater region for 60 years.  To celebrate this new partnership, and the arrival of Deschutes in Nebraska, the brewery is launching with a series of special events in the Omaha and Lincoln areas.

A series of events are scheduled from October 15-18, as part of the launch.  It’s the perfect opportunity to try some combination of official Deschutes Brewery Nebraska launch beers, including award winners and style leaders Mirror Pond Pale Ale, Black Butte Porter and Chainbreaker White IPA.  Making small talk with a brewer and other personalities from Deschutes Brewery is a terrific bonus.  This schedule follows below the signature events described below.  Please visit Deschutes Brewery’s events page for more information.

Don’t miss Woody either!  The giant, good-times-on-wheels mobile bar rolls his way around Nebraska during our launch week, complete with multiple delicious Deschutes Brewery beers, a stereo, and a disco ball. He is a natural gathering spot at any event for all thirsty individuals (and any misplaced members of your party). Follow Woody’s shenanigans on Twitter at @DBWoody or you can “friend” him at www.facebook.com/deschuteswoody.
