All this rainy weather has me craving a little winter cheer. Luckily, Oakshire Brewing has the answer. Yesterday our Ill-Tempered Gnome labels arrived from Portland (looking great) and I unloaded 6 pallets of bottles this moring( in the rain). Mike at Green Bottling gave me the “A-ok” last weekend in Bend, so they’ll be in and we’ll be bottling up our winter seasonal Wednesday morning and getting it on the shelves throughout Eugene on Thursday or Friday at the latest. Start asking for it at you local bottle shop! Portland folks, it will be on the truck next Monday morning.
In case you haven’t tuned in, ITG is:
It’s basically a hoppy Brown ale. More specifically, a complex malt profile with six specialty malts (Organic C-15, Special Roast, Special B, Honey malt, Kiln coffee, and chocolate) lays the foundation for a American hop punch (Nugget, Willamette, Crystal, Centennial and Cascade). This complex beer provides, bitter, roasty, chocolate, pine resin, citrus, dark fruit, coffee and sweet flavors all in one glass.
Take home a little Gnome this winter!
