Alesong Brewing & Blending Releasing Four New Beers for Spring 2025

With the weekend approaching, Alesong Brewing & Blending is set to release four new beers for Spring 2025. On this release, the brewery will launch Blossom, Mezcla, Bright Copper Kettles, and Double Barrel Oak & Ember to its Blender’s Circle Club members from May 15 – 18 at its countryside brewery just south of Eugene.
Here’s a rundown on all four beer releases, including one that’s a collaboration with Xicha Brewing, as provided by Alesong.
Blossom is a delicate farmhouse ale that spent over two years in oak before being conditioned on Oregon lavender along with freshly grated lemon zest. At only 4.2% ABV, Blossom is a light and refreshing beer perfect for sunny days and patio refreshment as Oregon heads into the best season of the year!
In collaboration with Xicha Brewing, Mezcla, or blend in Spanish, is a tart farmhouse ale that was aged for over a year in añejo tequila barrels to add the smoky earthiness familiar to lovers of the Mexican spirit. With the help of the Xicha kitchen team, we conditioned the blend on fire roasted pineapple and morita chili peppers to find that perfect balance of sweet and spicy.
Bright Copper Kettles is the next beer up in our “Favorite Things” series of winegrape co-ferments. A blend of tart blonde ales, conditioned on Malbec grapes from Quail Run’s Sophie Vineyard in Southern Oregon, the beer pours a stunning crimson that previews the bold blackberry and cherry flavors to come.
And finally, Double Barrel Oak & Ember is a roasty, chocolatey, imperial oatmeal stout that was aged in Henry Mckenna 10-year barrels for a year before being treated to another round of maturation in 8-year Elijah Craig barrels, resulting in this wonderfully robust showcase of bourbon-barrel-aging glory.
Alesong will host a release party exclusively for Blender’s Circle Club members at their country brewery the weekend of May 15-18, featuring small bite food pairings to accompany each new beer. The Portland release party and bottle pick up will be held on Wednesday, May 28 at Mayfly.
After the brewery release this weekend, all four of the new beers will be available on draft and in bottles for non-members the following weekend alongside the normal menu from the brewery’s on-site scratch kitchen. Bright Copper Kettles and Double Barrel Oak & Ember will be available at better retailers throughout the Pacific Northwest beginning the week after the brewery release.
