So deschutes just debuted here in Chicago and my local store has black butte porter, red chair nwpa, mirror pond pale and chainbreaker white ipa. I picked up a sixer of nwpa, it's pretty good and the price is nice at 7.99 a six
Can't go wrong w/anything from Deschutes.
Seriously? Nobody has commented on Red Chair yet? Red Chair is awesome, as is most coming out of Deschutes.
Anything by them is good. Red Chair is one of my favorites and we have brewed the clone from AHS multiple times.

All this talk, I need to get to the Deschutes brew pub in Portland.
I just checked and they have 10 beers on tap, one tap for experimental beer, and some others on tap that I've never had!
Driving three hours to Portland for Rouge wasn't worth it to me, but for Deschutes, it would have to be a winner!

Bend is better but Portland is good as well.

Anything much over three hours one way is just silly for a beer!

I stopped at a place I think in Salem, OR, called McMenamin's (there are multiple locations throughout Oregon, as I understand it). I had started drinking somewhat recently and only liked a few beers, but I tried something different every time I got a chance (still my policy, but not possible as often now, obviously). At this microbrew I got a taster of 6 different drinks and they were all SO good. I don't remember what they were, just that they were all good, and they were among my first beers that seemed 'real'. Man I want to go back someday...
I'm on my phone and can't see where your at. I'm assuming up north.
Either way, I highly recommend taking a vacation and going to bend for a week or so an doing the bend ale trail or at least visiting as many of the breweries down there as you can.
My wife and I did the ale trail in 3 days on our honeymoon in August.
I do like the Obsidian stout!
Not in the same league as Black Butte, but if they didn't make Black Butte, Obsidian might very well be my favorite beer.
Those are all good, I first started drinking Mirror Pond in college, Black Butte is a great Porter. Chainbreaker is really good also...but different as it is a Belgian white IPA, so it may not suit all tastes.
