Deschutes 30th Anniversary Origin Story Sweet Stout

Frank Appleton joined Deschutes Brewery in 1988 as a brewing consultant, creating the formulations of Deschutes’ beloved brands such as original formulation for Cascade Golden Ale, Bachelor Bitter and Black Butte Porter. In the early 1990’s Frank returned as a design consultant for Deschutes’ production facility. “My first feelings about Bend was how small and remote it was, and I wondered, 'Where are they going to sell all this beer in this little Budweiser town?' Well, Gary and the team sure showed me! Bend was only the beginning!” Appleton worked with Robin Johnson, Deschutes’ assistant brewmaster at the Bend pub to create the recipe for this pub exclusive smooth milk stout.
