Twilight Summer Ale

Twilight Summer Ale from Deschutes Brewery.

Deschutes Brewery was founded in 1988 in Bend, Oregon, and makes close to 20 different craft style beers with only 7 varieties actually made year round including this writers favorite – Mirror Pond Ale.  They are primarily available in the west coast, but are moving eastward with availability in Colorado, Minnesota, and Texas.

They also make three seasonal ales: Red Chair NWPA (Jan-May), Twilight Summer Ale (May-Sept), and Jubelale (Oct-Dec).

Red Chair is a Pale ale/IPA and Jubelale is a strong ale with both having alcohol levels above 6%.

The Twilight Summer Ale, which is available now, is a lighter ale with golden color to it.  It has lots of flavor, but doesn’t have that heavy ale taste.  The Twilight still has some pop to it with 5% alcohol level and 162 calories (per 12oz serving); however it was made for the light fare of summertime with grilling and outdoors in mind!

“I enjoy many of the brews from Deschutes, and living here in the Seattle area, I have access to them all.  I especially enjoy Twilight in the summertime! It goes great with grilling and the long summer nights we have in Seattle.” added T Keiper.

The Wine Rant

The Wine Rant is a new section added to the Miami Golf Invitational Site in the Summer of 2011.  This section is designed to feature reviews and discussions on wine and wine lifestyle from the Miami Golf Invitational participants and sponsors.

Many of our golfers on the yearly trip including Craig Goleno, Mez, Todd Keiper, Sam Messina, and others enjoy wine, and some are even collectors of wine.

“My collection continues to grow with some great California Cabs and blends among my selections including Rubicon and Stags Leap!” added Sam Messina.

The Wine Rant’s goal is to provide between us golfers a chance to share wines we have tried and enjoyed.
