Oakshire Anniversary Releases

History of Oakshire Brewing's Anniversary Releases.This is a blended beer. It is made up of primarily a farmhouse ale called Brett Gold and a little of another wild beer called Rhonda. Brett Gold spent two years on peach puree and the two beers together matured for another month on more peach puree.9th Anniversary Ale (2015) – Farmhouse Ale with Peaches – 6.2% ABV Oakshire Brewing started with a crisp farmhouse-style ale, aged it for two years over mountains of peaches, and matured it for another month with a smaller wild beer and a second dose of peaches. The finished beer presents a brilliant, hazy orange that yields a robust aroma of citrus notes, fresh peaches and acidic, earthy stone fruits. The sweet and floral peach flavors are followed quickly by a bright, tart, funky finish. The 9th Anniversary Ale presents a great mix of tastes and aromas- certainly worth waiting nine years to enjoy. 8th Anniversary Ale (2014) – Barrel-aged Belgian Ale with Cherries and Brett – 6.4% ABV Eight years after brewing our first batch of beer Oakshire Brewing want to celebrate their success with the small community of their most loyal supporters. To commemorate this occasion, we crafted this Belgian Ale , matured it in a handful of select Pinot Noir wine barrels, and aged it with Northwest grown cherries. This Belgian Kriek-inspired ale has flavors of tart fruit, oak and just a touch of funkiness from the Brettanomyces. 7th Anniversary Ale (2013) – Barrel-aged Baltic Porter with Cherries – 7% ABV Seven years after brewing Oakshire Brewing's first batch of beer, they felt the need to celebrate our success with the small community of their most loyal supporters. To commemorate this occasion, Oakshire Brewing crafted this Baltic Porter and artfully blended it with a handful of select bourbon barrel-aged dark and wild beers from their library and matured it on tart cherries. Flavors of tart fruit, oak, and bourbon combine with the beer’s deep chocolate notes, providing an unconventional yet gratifying drinking experience. 6th Anniversary Ale (2012) – Brandy Barrel-aged Barleywine – 9.5% ABV Brewed for Oakshire Brewing's 6th Anniversary this beer is an American Barleywine aged in freshly dumped brandy barrels.
