It’s a Deschutes Brewery news day, I guess. But this is such exciting news (for us beer aficionados) that I had to share.

Black Butte XX and the 20th Anniversary Wit were bottled on Wednesday, the 11th. This according to my source at the Brewery. Furthermore, they’re having the "waxing party" next week (for the XX; the tops of the bottles are wax-dipped like The Abyss was) in order to have the beer released into the wild the week of the 23rd.

That means keep a sharp eye out for these beers in just under two weeks. I have no doubt that they’ll be selling like hotcakes (the XX in particular).
