New Oakshire Summer Beer

Tasting at The Bier Stein 5-7 p.m., Thur., June 4

The Oakshire Brewery crew unveils Line Dry Rye, the Eugene brewery's summer seasonal ale. Brewmaster Matt Van Wyk describes Line Dry Rye as "a crisp and refreshing pale ale brewed with 10% flaked rye and 10% malted rye, an approachable but unique rye pale ale crafted with a touch of Oregon Blackberry honey."

Sounds good to me. Oakshire will have Line Dry Rye out for tastings at the Bier Stein on June 4 (and on tap after that), at the annual Sasquatch Brewers Dinner on June 5, and available in Eugene, Corvallis and Portland throughout the summer months.
