Press Release
On Saturday and Sunday, June 24th and 25th, Eugene’s Alesong Brewing and Blending will be marking its seventh anniversary of making award-winning barrel-aged beer with a weekend-long celebration at its countryside brewery (80848 Territorial Hwy). Running from 1-8pm each day, the party will feature live music, hot food from Alesong’s newly opened kitchen, complimentary cellar tours, and of course, the release of Alesong’s annual Canniversary Collaboration IPA available for on-site consumption and in four packs to-go! No reservations necessary (or accepted) to attend.
As a tongue in cheek nod to the common practice of breweries releasing once-a-year anniversary beers outside of their normal production styles, Alesong releases a highly anticipated collaboration IPA in cans every year for their anniversary. This year Alesong worked with Seattle’s Cloudburst Brewing to create “7th Canniversary,” a tropical, American IPA made with a blend of old school (Amarillo) and new school (Pacific Sunrise) hops. It’s a soft and citrusy IPA perfect for the Summer. In addition to Alesong’s anniversary, this IPA celebrates the collaborative nature of the beer industry, showcases Cloudburst’s significant expertise in crafting hop-forward beers, and acknowledges that although Alesong makes only barrel-aged beers, we still have plenty of love for the Pacific Northwest’s favorite beer style!
One of Alesong’s three co-founders, Doug Coombs says this anniversary is meaningful because it’s a chance to gather and celebrate with our community. “It’s been a crazy few years in beer and we’re so thankful for the support we’ve had that continues to allow us to do something that’s truly different,” says Coombs. “Plus, we’re ready to party and officially kick off the summer!”
ABOUT ALESONG BREWING & BLENDING: Alesong Brewing and Blending is a small artisan brewery based in the heart of Southern Willamette Valley wine country with a second 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.
