Hellshire Day 2018 & Barrel-Aged Beer Festival
The preeminent barrel-aged beer fest on the West Coast returns in 2018 as Oakshire Brewing welcomes friends and family to join us for another epic Hellshire Weekend of Events.
Our annual Hellshire Day & Barrel Aged Beer Fest will take place from 12pm to 8pm on Saturday {5/12}, where we'll showcase 40+ barrel-aged beers from our brewer friends around the country. The fest will feature the release of Hellshire VIII {our eighth barrel-aged beer released under the Hellshire label}, a rare opportunity to purchase reserve bottles from Oakshire's cellar, live bands, local food and more. Ticket price includes entry, commemorative Hellshire VIII tasting glass and five tasting tokens. Entry-only tickets {18+ only, no glass, tokens or beerfest/special beer participation) also available.
The Hellshire Experience is also back this year and better than ever. Join Oakshire Founder Jeff Althouse and Head Brewer Dan Russo on Friday night {5/11, 6pm} for a behind-the-scenes visit with the team, including tastings of rare and unique bottles, food, music, early entry to the festival Saturday and a bottle of our 2018 Hellshire Experience beer. Tickets for the experience will be available Thursday, March 1st at 11am.

“The spiciness comes through as a warming pepper sensation across your palate, super smooth and crazy drinkable for the high ABV,” said Dan Russo, who also leads Oakshire’s barrel aging programs, in a statement.
If you cannot wait until May 12th to get your hands on a bottle of Hellshire VIII, Oakshire Brewing is hosting The Hellshire Experience on Friday, May 11th from 6:00-9:00pm. Oakshire’s Lead Brewer Dan Russo and brewery Co-Founder Jeff Althouse will lead this intimate all-inclusive evening of vintage draft pours from the beer library, food and live music. This behind- the-scenes all-inclusive warehouse party will give barrel-aged beer fans and industry professionals the chance to try Hellshire VIII for the first time along with other special vintage offerings. Also included is an extremely rare Oakshire Vintage Brunch in Hell 750ml Bottle for each guest to relive the experience in his or her own time. The first bottling for this perennial favorite is a divergent offspring of Hellshire VIII’s base beer laid to rest in a freshly dumped St. Croix Rum Barrel. This single barrel breakfast inspired beer features and Organic Vermont Maple Syrup and single origin Columbian varietal coffee roasted by our friends at Slightly Coffee Roasters.
The Hellshire Experience will take place at the Oakshire Public House. Advance tickets are required and are $100.00 each ($104.49 after fees) and are available through May 10, 2018. Each Hellshire Experience ticket also includes a VIP Hellshire Day festival entry, festival glass and 5 tokens.
“It’s a great honor for us that our brewery friends from around the country continue to share their rarest beers with us,” said Russo in a statement. Here’s a rundown on what to expect to be pouring on draft at Hellshire Day 2018.
