This October, we’re celebrating our Seventeenth anniversary! We’ll be celebrating in our taprooms the weekend of October 6th, 7th, and 8th. We’ll release four new beers (below), tap some past favorites, have live music, food specials, and open our Vintage Library for bottle sales. Then, we’ll take our show on the road the following week to host anniversary events at craft beer retailers throughout Oregon. Our actual anniversary is Wednesday, October 12th, so we’ll be sure to have cake then too!
BEER RELEASES:
Seventeen
Bourbon Barrel-aged Imperial Stout – 13% ABV
For seventeen years, we have strived to create and share great beer experiences with you. In honor of those years, we present our 2023 anniversary ale. Seventeen is a triple mash, fourteen-hour boil imperial stout. It pours jet black with intense brown lacing. Notes of baker’s chocolate, vanilla, coconut, and a subtle rye spiciness waft from the glass. Seventeen is a celebration of all the people, places, and moments that have gotten us to where we are today. For that, we raise our glass and say thank you.
Limit 4 bottles pp. 22oz bottle, $20
The Fear That Lies Behind
Double Barrel-Aged English-Style Barleywine – 14.6% ABV
The Fear that Lies Behind is a rare double-barrel expression of an English barleywine. After 19 months, we transferred a single barrel to rest in a Jamaican rum cask for ten months. After 29 months, The Fear the Lies Behind emerged. An entity and expression of barleywine unlike anything that has ever left our cellar. Balanced notes of molasses, toffee, and oak give a retrospective vision of the intention and creation of our barrel-aged beer. What lies behind us is transformative, while the before is unknown.
Limit 4 bottles pp. 500ml bottle, $35
The Fear That Lies Before Us
Double Barrel-Aged English-Style Barleywine – 14.6% ABV
The Fear that Lies Before Us is the newest offering from our barrel-aged barleywine series. This beer spent nearly two and a half years in two different barrels. First, it spent 19 months in bourbon barrels from some of our favorite Kentucky distilleries. Then we moved it to an exceptional lot of Elijah Craig 18-year bourbon barrels for another ten months. After 29 months of total aging, The Fear that Lies Before Us emerged in its final form. An entity unbound by the surroundings and structure by which it was cast. Maple syrup, toffee, caramel, and a deep oak-laden tannic character build upon each Fear that has preceded while creating a path for those yet to come. Limit 4 bottles pp. 22oz bottle, $25
Goatshire
IPA, Collaboration with Obelisk Beer Co. – 7.3% ABV
The Great Oakshire Anniversary Tour returns to celebrate our seventeenth anniversary! This year we teamed up with our friends at Obelisk Beer Co to create an IPA worthy of a road show. Inspired by some of Dan and Dave’s favorite hoppy brews, they filled the kettle to the brim with some of their favorite new and old hops. This American IPA is everything you want from a hoppy IPA. 16oz/4pack, $16
