Alesong Brewing & Blending 2023 Spring Release Beers

Its spring beer season and Alesong Brewing & Blending has announced the release of its 2023 spring beers. This release features new vintages of some Alesong favorites and a few brand-new beers.

Releasing on Friday, May 5th are Mocha Rhino Suit, Valley Preserves, Stony Point Saison, Beergarden Bramble, and the club exclusive Double Barrel Maestro.

Here are details on each of the five beers as provided by the brewery.

Mocha Rhino Suit
Mocha Rhino Suit takes our flagship, bourbon-barrel-aged imperial milk stout and gives it a heavy dose of Colombian coffee and cocoa nibs from the local artisans at Coffee Plant Roasters and Chocolate Alchemy, taking an already decadent and chocolatey beer to new heights of deliciousness.

Valley Preserves
An ode to the bounty of Willamette Valley harvest, Valley Preserves is a refreshing and jammy ale aged on biodynamically grown blueberries from our neighbors at King Estate and Oregon cherries from Hood River. Luscious fruit character explodes from this vibrant magenta-hued beer!

Stony Point Saison
A rustic, unfiltered farmhouse ale brewed almost entirely with Oregon-grown ingredients: malts from Goschie Farms, grains from Camas Country Mill, hops from Crosby Hops, and honey from our neighbors at Queen’s Bounty. Join us as we continue our quest to capture terroir through the lens of beer.

Beergarden Bramble
Brewed in collaboration with our friends at Beergarden to celebrate Eugene Beer Week, this beer was inspired by a refreshing and spritzy blackberry bramble cocktail and is a blend of sour ales fermented on Oregon-grown blackberries and aged in Old Tom gin barrels from Oregon’s Ransom Spirits.

Double Barrel Maestro (Club Exclusive)
Although Maestro already showcases wonderful barrel character from its year in Heaven Hill barrels, we thought we’d really up the ante with a second round of aging in 10-year Henry McKenna barrels. What we’re left with is a robust expression of bourbon and barrel character: toffee, vanilla, charcoal, and a mild alcohol warmth to remind you of the scale of this massive barleywine.

Alesong will host a release party for Blender’s Circle members at its country brewery on the weekend of May 5-7 and the beers will be available for all at Alesong’s downtown tasting room that same weekend. Mocha Rhino Suit and Valley Preserves will also be available at retailers throughout the Pacific Northwest.

For those in the Portland metro area, Loyal Legion in SE Portland will be hosting an Alesong Tap Takeover from May 10 – 14, 2023. During these five days, many of these beers will be on tap for your enjoyment.
