OIL BIN CLEANING PROCEDURE
This will be a pub BOH scheduled task the 3rd week of every month. The purpose of this task is to keep the oil bin area clean and tidy!
What you will need:
5 gallon bucket of dish soapy hot water (2T dish soap to 1 gallon hot water)
Deck Brush
Long hose from the top of the stairs
Wide Putty Knife
Hand Scrub Brush
Rags
Gloves
BINS: Use the hand scrub brush and soapy water to first clean the tops of the actual bins themselves. Scrub off as much grease as you can! Rinse using hot water from the hose. Use rags to wipe away excess debris.
GROUND: First, pick up any garbage or large debris in the area around the oil bins. Use deck brush to scrub away any grease spills around oil bins. Get in corners and crevices. Make sure you move any buckets out of the way to get all surfaces. Rinse area with hot water from the hose.
Clean up supplies and put hose away!
YOU OUGHTA KNOW!
We are participating in Pray For Snow events in partnership with two local radio stations (NRQ and KZEL). These events will be at the TR on the 2nd Thursday of the month, beginning in November and ending in March. Pray For Snow is a live event focused on snow-based activities (skiing, snowboarding, etc.) with lots of prize giveaways ($20k total in prizes over the five months of events), games, contests, etc. We expect this to bring in a good number of folks new to Block 15 from around the region.
Our second annual Block Friday event will be held this Black Friday (November 23). In addition to the release of our first Block Friday blend in 500mL bottles, we will also be selling limited quantities of rare beers from our cellar, offering 20% off most retail, and slinging a dope food special. Block Friday will only take place at the Tap Room from 11:30am - 10pm.
