The Bend, Oregon-based Deschutes Brewery is the latest in the lineup to collaborate with Patagonia Provisions on their Kernza® beer project to produce two new organic brews: a Kernza Lager and the Kernza Golden Brew. The Kernza Golden Brew is the first-ever non-alcoholic beer made with Kernza perennial grain and is also the first certified organic non-alcoholic craft beer brewed in the US, making it the first of its kind to hit shelves.
These two beers are set to become available nationwide starting September 4th, 2024. To learn more about this collaboration, see below for a list of news articles covering the release.
