Squeezy Rider, available in six-packs of 12-ounce cans and on draft, will selectively make its debut across the Pacific Northwest and other select markets before expanding to Deschutes 36-state network. Initial states include Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Alaska, Northern California and Minnesota. Squeezy Rider also will be found in the new Variety 12-Pack releasing this month.
