“As a team, we were nostalgic for the days when our Hellshire releases happened on some of the darkest, coldest, days of the year,” says Dan Russo, COO “Days when the rain just won’t stop, and you need the company good friends and warmth of a good barrel-aged beer to keep your spirits up. We’re excited to have reimagined what that looks like this year and think the mini-festivals are the perfect laid-back way to enjoy these special beers.”

In addition to the festivities at their Taprooms, Oakshire partnered with some of their friends to bring the Dark Days experience to on-the-road.
