Releasing August 12th, Alesong Brewing & Blending announces Silver Lining, Raindrops on Roses, Showstopper, and Terroir Project: King Estate.
Press Release
Eugene’s Alesong Brewing & Blending is set to release four new barrel-aged blends on August 12th to close out the summer with reason to celebrate. Included are two wine-beer hybrids, inspired by rosé and orange wine, our most hop-forward beer to-date, and a bold, double barrel-aged imperial stout.
Silver Lining – Our hoppiest beer yet, this juicy farmhouse ale is a very Alesong take on the PNW's favorite beer style and full of tropical flavors from El Dorado, Azacca, and Strata hops. (PNW Distribution, Tasting Rooms, Club)
Raindrops on Roses – Stunningly pink, this rosé-inspired farmhouse ale presents jammy flavors and aromas from a secondary fermentation on Pinot Noir grapes from King Estate. (PNW Distribution, Tasting Rooms, Club)
Showstopper - Aged in both bourbon and whiskey barrels, this stunner of an imperial stout was made for the Hult Center's 40th Anniversary and is sure to have you clapping for more. (Tasting Rooms, Club)
Terroir Project: King Estate – This orange wine-inspired beauty was made with Pinot Gris grapes harvested at King Estate, stomped in our cellar, and spontaneously fermented. (Club exclusive)
Silver Lining and Raindrops on Roses will both be available at retailers throughout the Pacific Northwest beginning mid-August, while Showstopper and Terroir Project: King Estate will only be available at the tasting rooms and to Blender’s Circle bottle club members, respectively.

“We have quite the lineup to share for this release,” raved Alesong co-founder and Production Manager, Brian Coombs. “From Showstopper, a big imperial stout made to celebrate Eugene’s Hult Center, to Silver Lining, our "juiciest" beer yet! My personal favorite is Terroir Project: King Estate, our next beer made for Firestone Walker’s multi-brewery collaboration. We chose to work with King Estate this year, using their biodynamically grown Pinot Gris grapes which we foot stomped in our cellar and fermented spontaneously on the skins to create an orange wine-inspired beer. It truly is amazing the depth of flavor complexity that comes from using naturally occurring microflora.”

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.
