The Brewery

Our beers seem to come and go and fly off the taps faster than I can tell you about them, but look what we have for the lineup this week. Lil' Smokey is a beer we are calling a Petite Smoked Porter, but more on that in a moment. I also went digging into the cooler and found a 2010 Very Ill Tempered Gnome. This is an Imperial version of our winter seasonal, Ill Tempered Gnome. We only have enough for growlers, tasters and on Friday and Saturday (if it lasts), pints. It's 9.1 %, so come get a little winter in August!

Welcome back summer - it is the week of July 25th and it is beginning to feel a bit more like the blessed summer we all know and love! In honor of the reemergence of that bright ball in the sky, Oakshire will host the band Dirty Spoon on Friday in our tasting room from 4-6pm.

Greetings from the Oakshire garden. We have three new additions to our space, chickens and bees. The two foster chickens, brought to us by family members arrived on Friday May 20th. Their names are Chicken Nugget ( red sexlink) and Blackie (black sexlink). Our brood of eight have been mostly welcoming! And the brewery has honeybees!

Line Dry Rye is rolling off of the bottling line this morning and will be hitting the shelves very soon. If you just can't wait to get our summer seasonal, here is the information you need to know: Wednesday, May 25th you can hit our tasting room at 1055 Madera and we will have it for sale in bottles and draft. Fill your corny, fill a growler, or take a keg to go. In Portland, on the same day, you can head to The Guild Public House from 6-8PM and meet Matt and be the first to try this Rye Pale ale made with Oregon Blackberry Honey.

What happens when two neighboring brewers meet up to make a beer for the sole reason of getting together at one of their favorite Corvallis hangouts and drinking said beer together? Cooperative Suds IPA happens, that's what. Nick Arzner from Block 15 in Corvallis and our very own Matt Van Wyk were asked to do a promotional night at Suds & Suds. They figured that if they were going to spend three hours together, they might as well make a beer.

For 10 months, it has rested quietly and now it is time for it's triumphant unveiling!! Our new line of barrel aged beers, dubbed The Hellshire Series, will have it's first release with a grand party on Saturday May 7th beginning at 8AM. A limited number of bottles will be sold in 22 ounce, wax dipped bottles for $15 each. Along with live, local music, we'll have complimentary coffee and we will have a local food cart on site cooking up breakfast sandwiches.

Some of the earliest brewers were women and in that spirit of past is present, Oakshire has partnered with the Cascade Brewers Society to host a Teach a girl/woman/mom/daughter to brew day! Five brewing stations will be set up with women at the helm discussing technique, best practice and why they choose to brew beer. The event will be held at Oakshire on Saturday, March 5th from 10am-4pm. Bring your note pad, a list a questions and your observation glasses.

While it may be a couple months away, you can get excited for American Craft Beer week coming mid-May. In the meantime, check out this cool video promoting the celebration of beer across America. It features our very own Brewmaster Matt Van Wyk about half way through. View it here. Cheers to Beers!

Oakshire Brewing has partnered with the fun folks at Willamette Animal Guild (WAG). We made a small batch of Red Ale named Spay it Forward. WAG is an incredible organization known for their spay and neuter project that provides affordable spay and neuter services for residents in the Eugene area. Join us as we help to support this great group on Saturday, February 19th from 6-9pm. Bingo, Oakshire Pints, toe tapping music by the Bittersweet Moonshine Band and great snacks. Grab your favorite crazy pet adoring friends and head on down to the Sons of Norway Lodge for a fun evening supporting WAG.

The talented chefs at Red Agave have created a delightful coffee ice cream using our award winning Overcast Espresso Stout. Visit Red Agave Valentines Week to partake and thank the staff for choosing to use great beer! www.redagave.net
