The first wave of feedback we received when we posted our initial thoughts<\/a> about Deschutes’ arrival in Illinois focused not on what we reviewed, but what we didn’t.<\/p>\n

It seems some shared our muted view of Black Butte and Mirror Pond but were wowed by both the Red Chair Northwest Pale Ale and Hop Henge Experimental IPA.<\/p>\n

We heard about both on twitter:<\/p>\n

\"deschutestweet\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And in our comments:<\/p>\n

“Red Chair NWPA instantly gained a spot on my own person[al] \u201cTop 10\u2033, \u201cWow Beers\u201d, and \u201cKeep a supply at all times\u201d lists.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Truth be told, the three beers we reviewed were sent to us by Deschutes. A care package, if you will, to introduce us to Wirtz Beverage’s first craft beer account. Red Chair and Hop Henge were not part of said care package, but Deschutes was kind enough to rectify that situation by forwarding along bottles of each.<\/p>\n

So is Red Chair a keep in supply, “at all times” kind of beer? And how about Hop Henge, we’re we really missing something?<\/p>\n
