Beverages from Block 15 & Guests
Featured Beers
Bloktoberfest - Block 15 Brewing
Märzen Lager • 5.50%
Celebrate Oktoberfest Block 15-style with this amber-hued Märzen Lager. Noble hops impart subtle floral and spicy aromas, while PNW-sourced Pilsner and Munich-style malts build a delicate base.
Lagered by the Sun
We continue to move our lager program to regionally sourced malt. Bloktoberfest uses ingredients primarily sourced from the PNW, but it still has the authentic flavor of a German-style Lager.
Learn more about our Lagered by the Sun program.
Deep Seek - Block 15 Brewing
West Coast IPA • 6.50%
We’ve gone deep into the exploration of this modern West Coast IPA. Brewed with mountains of pungent, resinous hops capturing depths of dank pine and bright citrus to complement your next adventure.
Party Time Pilsner - Wayfinder Beer
Bavarian-style Pilsner • 5.30%
Clear, golden, crisp, Bavarian-ish. Portland’s Pilsner completes the art of Pärtying.
Hell - Wayfinder Beer

Old World Lager - Ferment Brewing Company
Lager • 5.2%
Inspired by the lager brewing traditions of Austria, Czechia, and Germany, our Old World Lager strikes a balance between rich malts and bold European hops. Rustic toast notes are swept clean by an extra large charge of German Saphir and Slovenian Celeia hops.

Festbier - ColdFire Brewing
Oktoberfest Lager • 5.10%
Ach, Schnitzel! It’s Oktoberfest! The festivities and merriment call for a beer that is easy-drinking and light, but with just enough doughy malt character and a touch of bitterness to keep you wanting more. Crisp but not dry, our Festbier whets the palate and satisfies the urge to celebrate. We love this time of year and can’t wait to drink this crisp yet cozy beer in celebration. Made in collaboration with the Bier Stein in Eugene, Oregon.
