Deschutes Brewery launched Fresh Hop Mirror Pond Pale Ale, the newest brew in the Bond Street series experimental lineup. This limited-edition offering is made from heirloom Cascade hops grown in Oregon. Goshie Farms of Willamette Valley agreed to dedicate four acres of land for heirloom Cascade hop cultivation. As a result, the crops have more vitality, better yield, and more herbal, floral and citrus aromas, the company says. Fresh Hop Mirror Pond Pale Ale is available in very limited quantities in 22-ounce bottles for $4.99 each.
