As the days get longer, and the warmer weather approaches that tells us one thing here at Oakshire – it’s time to release The Perfect Storm. A double IPA packed full of Northwest Hops, with a juicy malt body and an intense hop bitterness that lingers after each sip. Every year this beer recipe changes ever so slightly as we search for that perfect hop combination that will blend just right with local ingredients to come together in The Perfect Storm of ales.

Oakshire Brewing founder Jeff Althouse and Brewmaster Matt Van Wyk are headed to Washington D.C. for the annual Craft Brewers Conference and BrewExpo America. They’ll be joining over 5,000 brewing industry professionals for continued brewing education, idea sharing, and the opportunity to build positive business relationships.

The Brewers at Oakshire are proud to release their flagship beer, Watershed IPA, in 12-ounce/6-pack cans in March 2013. Watershed IPA is a Northwest style India Pale Ale which highlights the flavors and aromas of our region’s best hops. Sales of the 12-ounce/6-pack cans will begin at 3p on Friday, March 1st at the Oakshire Brewing tasting room and will be distributed to Oregon, Washington, Alaska and Northern Idaho.

We will release our 3rd barrel aged beer under the label Hellshire on Saturday, February 16th. Hellshire III is a Foreign Style Stout aged for nearly a year in bourbon barrels from Heaven Hills Distillery in Kentucky. Sales of the 22oz wax dipped bottles will begin at 10a in our tasting room on Madera Street during the Oregon Brewers Guild Zwickelmania event.

As the cold & rainy winter season firmly takes its grasp upon us, we retaliate with a dose of soul warming beers: Milky Way Stout, Bitter Rye-Varly and Ol’2 Planker Barleywine.

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the Oregon Brewers Festival and we’ve crafted a special commemorative beer just for the occasion, aptly named ‘25’. This Imperial Oregon Ale has 25 ingredients; many sourced in Oregon, and contains 25 International Bittering Units. It is medium to light bodied, with a soft bitterness, and a slightly fruit forward flavor. We used two kinds of locally sourced honey; plus, cranberries, hazelnuts, citrus orange peels, and a host of spices & herbs.

Our new Belgian Style Farmhouse Ale is 100% organic and makes for a refreshing beverage on a hot summer evening. Not only did we send this beer up to Portland to be served at the 2012 North American Organic Beer festival, but we saved enough to be poured in our Tasting Room. ‘Save the Farmhouse Ale’ is a hazy, golden colored beer that finishes dry with a mild bitterness. The spicy aroma really makes this ale one of a kind.

It’s summer time and things are heating up here at Oakshire Brewery. We’ve got a great line-up of Single Batch beers flowing out of the Tasting Room; including 'Whack & Unwrap' {Orange Chocolate Porter}, 'Reclamation Lager' {Czech-Style Pilsner}, 'Perfect Storm IPA' {double India Pale Ale}, & the 'Black Wolf' {Schwarzbier}. Next up we’ll have 'Save the Farmhouse Ale' {100% Organic Ale}, 'Fairly Special Bitter', and the '25' {Imperial Oregon Ale} which is specially brewed for the 25th Anniversary of the Oregon Brewers Festival in late July.

Just when you think we couldn’t top our last round of single batch beers, we go and do something like this – and totally blow your mind! We’ve got 4 new single batch beers flowing out of the brewery: Glen’s Hop Vice, Perfect Storm IPA, Reclamation Lager, and Wir Trinken. Upcoming single batch beers include Graduation Ale and a Chocolate Orange Porter. Still have a hankering for Big Black Jack, Zwarte Nacht, Meandering Monk, or Hippie Town Brown?
