New Vanilla Oatis Packaging & 12oz. 6-Packs to Hit Shelves Late August
EUGENE, Ore.—Aug. 11, 2016—Ninkasi Brewing
Company, an independent craft brewery based in Eugene, Oregon, announces a new look for its Flagship Series Stout,
Vanilla Oatis.
New Vanilla Oatis
branding will roll out on all packages starting late August across the
brewery’s distribution territory. For the first time, fans will also be
able to find Vanilla Oatis in 12oz. 6-packs.
A
favorite since 2009, Vanilla Oatis continues to satisfy Stout lovers
across the nation. “This beer begins with the original Oatis recipe,”
explains Jamie
Floyd, Ninkasi founding brewer and co-founder. “The Oatis is an Oatmeal
Stout, really dry finish, lots of roasted hints up front and a smooth
mouth feel that comes from the rolled oats.”
The
primary difference between Oatis and Vanilla Oatis is simply one
ingredient: vanilla beans imported directly to Eugene from Madagascar.
To achieve
this higher level of decadence, whole vanilla beans are individually
hand-split by Ninkasi’s cellar team before being added to the final
stage of conditioning—the same process used to dry hop a beer. Floyd
explains that the vanilla changes the complexity and
the flavor profile of the beer and sweetens up the taste overall.
“We
strive to create unique, full-flavored beers with interesting flavor
profiles,” says Floyd. “Vanilla Oatis is the last of our Flagship Series
beers
to get an updated look this year; we’re excited to bring more attention
to this delicious Stout.”
Ninkasi
creative director, Nick Yarger, explains the intention of the rebrand
is to reflect the “feminine perspective” of the beer. “Hand-drawn
vanilla
beans, hummingbirds and flowers elegantly grace the packaging and
subtle warm tones contrast the heaviness of the beer,” explains Yarger.
As
new Vanilla Oatis packaging rolls out, the brewery will begin to phase
out its year-round offering of Oatis Oatmeal Stout. “Those who loved
Oatis will
enjoy Vanilla Oatis just as much,” says Floyd. “This beer is every bit
as soul-satisfying as the original.”

Vanilla Oatis Stats
A divine blend of vanilla, coffee, chocolate, and roasted malt notes swirl together to create a smooth Oatmeal Stout with a crisp finish. The true signature of this beer comes from the addition of whole vanilla beans to the final stage of conditioning—the same process we use to dry hop a beer. Slightly sweet with a rich complexity, Vanilla Oatis is decadent and delicious.

Tasting Notes:
Vanilla Oatis Oatmeal Stout is characterized by a roasted front flavor,
smooth
rich oats, a touch of chocolate flavor, and a rich vanilla complexity
imparted by whole vanilla beans. It is bigger than a traditional stout
with more alcohol, body and a touch more bitterness to keep it balanced.
