April is National Garden Month and here at Oakshire we like to practice "Pint in Hand" gardening throughout the year; and, especially in April! Really, is there anything better than digging in the dirt and drinking beer? To celebrate we will be hosting two workshops at the brewery, graciously taught by community members. These workshops are free but remember, you must have a pint in hand to participate! Workshops are at the Oakshire tasting room and run from 2-3pm, Mark your calendars now.

Join Oakshire Owners, City of Eugene neighborhoods, Union Pacific and Mayor Kitty Piercy and Trainsong Neighborhood association President Nicole Sharette as we work to plant 100 trees along Bethel Drive -that magical road that leads to Oakshire and all things beery!

So I'm driving to work today to cover the third shift of a big IPA brew and I discovered a beautiful surprise!(No, not Sam Terral) We had a break in the winter rain today and I spent some time outside in the sun finishing some projects around the house. Of course, the rain came back prior to my arrival at the brewery, but fortunately, it led me to the pot of gold at the end of this rainbow!Sometimes the rain ain't so bad.......
