Did you make it to the 2011 KLCC brewfest? For nearly two decades the Eugene area brewers have been collaborating on a special beer for the annual KLCC brewfest. This year, we all made a very sessionable pale ale made with a single malt, Glen Eagle Marris Otter. Each beer also just had a single hop, which was chosen by the brewer. At Oakshire we loaded up on Mt Hood Hops. Each beer was fermented by the breweries' house yeast and the goal was to make a beer that came in under 5%abv.

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.
