Deschutes Jubelale Release

Deschutes Brewery Releases Legacy Winter Seasonal – Jubelale

Open Call for Artists Goes Beyond Oregon

Jubelale Press Release

Bend, OR – Family and employee-owned since 1988, Deschutes Brewery announced the 35^th annual release of the beloved winter seasonal, Jubelale. Initially bottled in wine bottles straight from the taps in Bend’s original public house for the holidays, Jubelale is the first beer ever packaged at the brewery. This winter warmer features rich spice notes and a healthy malt character of toffee and dusted cocoa with an ABV of 6.7%.

Jubelale Package

For nearly three decades, Jubelale labels have featured original artwork from locally commissioned artists each year, something unique to this brand. The distinctive design for the 2022 release was created by Francisco Morales, a freelance Latinx illustrator and designer based in Portland, Oregon. In this far out design, Francisco’s ethereal depiction of a winter landscape was inspired by his first winter experience in the Pacific Northwest.

“This is inspired by my first experience of snow and winter in Oregon. I am a child of the Coachella Valley desert where rain and moisture are a rare occurrence. I’ll never forget my first trip to the Pacific Northwest, and nothing would prepare me for the winter and snowfall where the sound dampens and light changes, as if you are on another planet,” shared Morales. “As a collaborator for this year’s Jubelale design, this piece attempts to capture the emotions of that extraterrestrial feeling.” Morales’ work can be found at @laylowcreative.

Jubelale will release across Deschutes’ distribution footprint in 12-ounce 6-pack bottles, 12 ounces 12 pack cans, and on draft later this month.
