Deschutes Brewery Jubelale

As the winter season approaches, it’s time to cozy up with a festive brew. Deschutes Brewery’s Jubelale stands out as a quintessential winter warmer. Embracing the spirit of celebration since 1988, this ale delivers comforting notes of spice, malt, toffee, and cocoa. It’s a delightful treat to savor during the holidays.

Each year, Jubelale brings a new artist to the label, showcasing unique winter scenes. This year, Bend, Oregon’s Evan Namkung created a tranquil design. His color choices reflect calmness, energy, and togetherness, embodying the holiday spirit perfectly. It’s fascinating how art and beer come together to enhance the experience.

Anticipating Jubelale each winter excites many craft beer lovers. Deschutes Brewery’s commitment to quality shines through in this brown ale. Unlike typical brown ales, Jubelale balances a robust malt character with a hoppy finish. Its bitterness (IBU 60) complements the malt beautifully, making it a truly satisfying brew.

Jubelale pairs remarkably well with hearty winter meals. Think warming beef stew or stewed carrots for a perfect match. This full-bodied beer allows you to relish its rich flavors even more with every sip.

As I kick off my winter ale reviews, Deschutes Brewery’s Jubelale is the ideal starting point. Its history adds depth to the enjoyment, from its firsthand-bottled run in 1988 to becoming a seasonal favorite. Each year, both the beer and the label art bring something fresh to the table.

So, grab a six-pack of Jubelale, gather friends and family, and celebrate the season. There’s nothing quite like savoring a great winter ale from Deschutes Brewery during the holidays!
