Press Release
Eugene’s Alesong Brewing & Blending is releasing five new barrel-aged blends today, just in time for the holidays and seasonal fireside indulgences. This release features two rich and chocolatey stouts, a massively decadent brown ale, the return of Touch of Brett and perhaps Alesong’s best wine/beer hybrid to date.
Touch of Brett – Alesong’s most award-winning beer and still one of the absolute favorites! This year's 100% brettanomyces-fermented saison was dry-hopped with Nectaron and bursts with stone fruit and citrus character.
Cellar Season - Like Kentucky Kilt's big brother, this massive brown ale was aged in bourbon barrels for the better part of a year and is ready just in time for your winter sipping needs!
Whiskers on Kittens - The bold encore to Raindrops on Roses, this stunning crimson beer showcases the big flavors of our favorite Bordeaux varietal, Cabernet Sauvignon, against the backdrop of a tart farmhouse blend.
Rhino Suit - The OG! Ever-evolving, this may be our best vintage of Rhino Suit yet! Rich chocolate, dark roast, and bourbon-barrel-induced vanillins are key features of this Heaven Hill barrel-aged imperial milk stout.
Señor Rhino - Mr. Rhino's Mexican-hot-chocolate-inspired cousin. Warming chiles, spicy cinnamon and smooth vanilla are the perfect complement to the rich and chocolatey base beer. ¡Salud!
All five beers will be available for tasting at Alesong’s downtown tasting room in the 5th Street Public Market beginning today, while Rhino Suit and Señor Rhino will also be available at retailers throughout the Pacific Northwest. Bottles of Whiskers on Kittens are reserved exclusively for Blender’s Circle bottle club members. For more information on Blender’s Circle membership, visit www.alesongbrewing.com/join
“Stout season is back! We’re thrilled to have a full lineup of bourbon-barrel-aged beers available again, especially with the onset of winter weather we’ve seen over the past week,” says Alesong Founding Brewmaster and Director of Sales, Matt Van Wyk. “Obviously you can’t overlook Touch of Brett, which has won four medals at the Great American Beer Festival, but really I’ve been waiting anxiously for another Cabernet beer since our 2019 hybrid featuring those grapes was one of my all-time Alesong favorites!”
More information on each of the new beers can be found on the Alesong Brewing & Blending blog – www.alesongbrewing.com/blog.
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.
