Welcome to your Bourbon Month Hub! We’re going big this year, as it celebrates the 16th year we’ve released our Super Nebula bourbon barrel-aged beer series and revere all things bourbon with a month-long celebration.

Beginning February 1st and running throughout the entire month of February, Bourbon Month events will take place at our Downtown Pub and Taproom locations, along with a special Portland-based event at Saraveza and unique offerings at Caves Corvallis.

With the release of four bourbon barrel-aged beers and a specialty collaboration beer with Hair of the Dog, the locations will also offer food pairings crafted by Executive Chef Sarah Farey, specialty bourbon cocktails by Downtown Director Alex Goodwin and Assistant General Manager Laura Wilson, and a chance to try 18 select bourbon offerings to complete a Bourbon Month 2024 stamp book.

Bourbon Month also includes a more exclusive series of ticketed events, such as the Brewers Tasting and Bourbon Dinner hosted by Caves Corvallis. Sign up for our newsletter to get first access! See below for more details.

About the Bourbon

Over the month, we’ll be featuring 18 different specialty bourbons and whiskeys at both Corvallis Block 15 locations and Caves Corvallis. The list features the likes of King’s County Straight Bourbon out of Brooklyn, NY, and Heaven Hill Bottled in Bond from Kentucky and is curated by Goodwin herself! One specialty bourbon selection of the eighteen bourbons will be released each Monday for three weeks and will only be available that day.

2024 stamp books will be offered to track which bourbons have been savored, with a party and prize for those who taste through them all. Get your stamp book at either location!
