	Deschutes Brewery Green Lakes Organic Ale Discover Deschutes Brewery's intriguing amber ale, our Ode to Mother Earth. Experience its mellow malt profile intertwined with subtly surprising hop flavors. Green Lakes Organic Ale is brewed with five types of 100% organic malted barely and balanced with Liberty and Salmon-Safe Sterling hops. Easy to drink. Easy on the Environment. Downright Delicious. Who knew celebrating Mother Earth could taste so good. After working with Oregon Tilth for nearly six months, Deschutes Brewery received organic certification for its 50 barrel brew house and can now brew tasty organic ales for year-round enjoyment. Fish need cool clean water. So do you. That's why we sourced Salmon-Safe certified Sterling hops for our first organic beer. The way these flavorful, rich hops are grown makes sure that streams are shaded and there is not runoff to nearby waterways. That way the rivers stay cool and clean for migrating salmon. Not only is our Green Lakes beer organic, it helps protect our rivers as well. To read more about Green Lakes Organic Ale being the first beer brewed with Salmon-Safe certified hops visit www.deschutesbrewery.com . ABV: 5.2% IBUs: 45 Obsidian Stout Obsidian Stout gets its inspiration from one of the world's largest obsidian flows at Newberry Volcano – just a few miles south of the brewery. “The Big Obsidian Flow,” as they call it, covers more than 700 acres with shiny black obsidian. Black as midnight with a dark head. Deep, black chocolate aroma, wonderfully complex and clean. Hoppy and very bitter in the mouth, a great roasted finish. Sharp and dry. Great balance. *World Beer Tasting Notes* ABV: 6.4% IBUs: 50 Awards: World's Best Stout (Export) , 2007 World Beer Awards Best Stout, 2007 Readers' Choice Awards , Northwest Brewing News Gold Medal & Champion Stout Award , 2007 Australian International Beer Awards Best of the Pacific Northwest & Grand Champion , Stout Category, 2007 United States Beer Tasting Championship Gold Award, Dry Stout , 2006 European Beer Star Silver Medal, Stout-Other Category , 2006 Australian International Beer Awards Silver Medal, Stout-Foreign Stout , 2006 North American Beer Awards Gold Medal (92-Exceptional) , 2005 World Beer Championships Gold Award, Stout , 2005 European Beer Star Bronze Medal, Foreign-Style Stout , 2004 Great American Beer Festival Bronze Medal, Foreign-Style Stout , 2003 Great American Beer Festival Gold Medal, Foreign Stout Category , 2003 North American Beer Awards Silver Medal, Individual Category Awards , 2003 Real Ale Festival, American Stouts Silver Medal, Foreign-Style Stout , 2002 World Beer Cup Bronze Medal, Individual Category Awards , 2002 Real Ale Festival, American Stouts Gold Medal, Bottled Stouts , 2001 Real Ale Festival, Bottle-Conditioned Beer Awards Silver Medal, Best of Bottles , 2001 Real Ale Festival, Bottle-Conditioned Beer Awards Silver Medal , Stout Category , 2001 West Coast Brew Fest Gold Medal, Foreign Stout Category , 2000 California 's Brewer's Festival Silver Medal, Foreign Style Stout , 2000 World Beer Cup Gold Medal, Foreign Stout , 1999 NABA Competition Silver Medal, Foreign Stout , 1999 Great American Beer Festival Best of Fest, Bottle-Conditioned Beers , 1998 Real Ale Festival Stop by the Deschutes Brewery booth to sample their brews or visit the website.
