Alesong Brewing & Blending 2024 Autumn Beer Releases

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Fresh on the heels of being named Brewery of the Year at the 2024 Great American Beer Festival®, Alesong is pleased to be debuting three new blends for its Autumn release.  The beers will be released the weekend of November 14-17 at their wine country tasting room and to retailers across the Pacific Northwest shortly thereafter.  This release features three new beers for the upcoming holiday season:

• Rhino Suit is Alesong’s legendary barrel-aged stout. One of the first beers released by the young brewery back in 2016 and a perennial favorite, this year’s version was aged in freshly emptied Heaven Hill bourbon barrels and brings all the balanced chocolatey richness and smooth drinkability that you’ve come to expect from Rhino Suit.

• An extension of the flagship bourbon-barrel-aged stout, a small batch blend of Peppermint Rhino Suit adds a hefty dose of locally roasted cocoa and Willamette Valley grown peppermint.  Curl up by the fire and get your holiday dessert fix with layered notes of chocolate, bourbon, vanilla, and peppermint.

• Raspberry Commons is Alesong’s newest expression of tart, Willamette Valley raspberries, going through a co-fermentation on biodynamically grown raspberries from right next door prior to extended barrel-aging and then another addition of raspberries at bottling for double raspberry goodness against the backdrop of our award-winning, Flanders-red-inspired, base beer.

Alesong will host a release party exclusively for Blender’s Circle members at their country brewery the weekend of November 14-17, featuring small bite food pairings to accompany each new beer and will have all three of the new beers available on draft and in bottles for non-members the following weekend alongside the normal menu from their on-site scratch kitchen. Rhino Suit and Raspberry Commons will be available at better retailers throughout the Pacific Northwest beginning the week of the brewery release.

ABOUT ALESONG BREWING AND BLENDING: Named Brewery of the Year at the 2024 Great American Beer Festival® in its size category, Alesong Brewing and Blending is an artisan brewery, winery, and cidery based in the heart of Southern Willamette Valley wine country outside Eugene, Oregon. With 100% of production spending time in oak, Alesong crafts unique and small-batch blends, producing styles that span the flavor spectrum. As the beer, wine, or cider in barrels matures, the team samples and selects barrels individually to create a final blend. Paying homage to old-world Lambic blenders and artisan winemakers, Alesong strives to achieve complex and balanced final blends that are much more interesting and complete than the sum of their parts or any individual barrel by itself.
