Oakshire Joins The Craft Can Revolution with Watershed IPA
EUGENE, OR (February 25th, 2013) – The Brewers at Oakshire are proud to release their flagship beer, Watershed IPA, in 12-ounce/6-pack cans in March 2013. Watershed IPA is a Northwest style India Pale Ale which highlights the flavors and aromas of our region’s best hops. Sales of the 12-ounce/6-pack cans will begin at 3p on Friday, March 1st at the Oakshire Brewing tasting room and will be distributed to Oregon, Washington, Alaska and Northern Idaho.
“We’re thrilled to package our Watershed in cans,” explains Brewmaster Matt Van Wyk. “The bottom line is that cans are better for the quality of beer, and that’s what I care about. Cans keep light out of the beer and have less oxygen pickup, which will allow us to have a great experience with fresh beer. The extra benefits of portability, recyclability and a single serving size are all just bonuses for us.”
Watershed IPA 12-ounce/6-pack cans will be available locally and throughout the Pacific Northwest beginning in March. Watershed IPA is also available in 22-ounce bottles and on draft.
