Alesong Brewing & Blending announces their 5 releases for early 2021, including Blender's Circle exclusive Cocoa Maestro.

With a tentative release date of February 12th, Alesong Brewing & Blending announces their first 5 beers of 2021. With the theme of “No style is off limits” this series of barrel-aged beers is sure to please. 

Located in Eugene, Oregon, the brewery which has made waves in the ‘Valley continues to show patience during the ongoing pandemic. 

No single flavor can define us.” With a dry-hopped grisette releasing just after the brewery took home a GABF gold in the 2020 specialty saison category, and the end of a two-year wait for the return of their highly rated bourbon barrel-aged barleywine, Maestro, their brand new blends are sure to enamor beer drinkers of all types. 

Without adieu, the beers complete with a product description from the brewery are. 

• Kriek — An Alesong ode to the Belgian cherry ale of the same name. A touch of vanilla bean in the blend provides balance and rounds out its zip of acidity! (Full Distribution)

• Maestro — Aged in bourbon barrels, this English-style barleywine is rich with caramel and oak flavor, finishing with a touch of dried fruit! (Full Distribution)

• Cocoa Maestro — This season’s club-only bottle: A rich bourbon barrel-aged barleywine conditioned on mountains of locally roasted cocoa nibs. A deviantly decadent duo! (Club Only)

• Pacific Bliss — A crisp and refreshing barrel-aged grisette, dry-hopped to add tropical fruit aromas. Perfect for the coming sun! (Club & Tasting Room Only)

• Breakfast Suit — Alesong’s signature bourbon barrel-aged imperial milk stout blended with cold brew, hand-sliced vanilla, cinnamon and heaps of cocoa nibs! (Club & Tasting Room Only)

“Three of our new blends — especially our new stout Breakfast Suit — are these rich and bold, bourbon barrel-aged, hunker-down-and-enjoy-by-the-fire kinds of beers,’” said Doug Coombs, Alesong co-founder. “But Pacific Bliss and Kriek are just so refreshing! They remind us that spring is just around the corner!”

With a focus on sharing some of their 2021 releases with the public, the brewery is only willing to confirm wide availability of Maestro and Kriek. 

Coco Maestro, unfortunately, will be Blender’s Circle bottle club exclusive, with Breakfast Suit, Maestro, Kriek, and Pacific Bliss available at their downtown taproom. 

This also means, with the opening of their downtown Eugene tasting room, their original tasting room along Territorial Hwy is closed to the public, save those who are members of the Blender’s Circle.

ABOUT ALESONG BREWING AND BLENDING: Alesong Brewing and Blending is a small artisan brewery based in the heart of Southern Willamette Valley wine country with a public tasting room in downtown Eugene. The all-barrel-aged brewery crafts unique and small-batch beers, brewing both wild and non-wild styles that span the flavor spectrum. Once the beer in barrels has matured, the team samples and selects each barrel individually to blend. Paying homage to old-world Lambic blenders and artisan winemakers, Alesong believes that the final, balanced blend of a barrel-aged beer is much more complex and satisfying than the sum of its parts or each individual barrel by itself.
