Bourbon Month
Held every February, Bourbon Month is Block 15’s celebration of all things bourbon, including the release of our Super Nebula bourbon barrel-aged beer series, special events, a stamp book of specialty bourbons to try, and food and drink offerings.
A Celebration of All Things Bourbon
Beginning January 30th, 2026, and running throughout February, we host Bourbon Month events at our Downtown Pub and Southtown Tap Room, with unique offerings at Caves Corvallis.
We celebrate the release of our bourbon barrel-aged Super Nebula Series with curated food specials crafted by our Executive Chef, Sarah, specialty bourbon cocktails by our front-of-house managers, and a chance to try a selection of specialty bourbons.
Bourbon Month also includes a more exclusive series of ticketed events, such as the Brewer’s Dinners and Guided Pairings at Block 15 locations and a Bourbon Dinner hosted at Caves Corvallis.
