YOU OUGHTA KNOW!
FLUFF’S TRAVELS
Fluff, our intrepid world traveler, is setting sail once again to discover a brand-new dry-hop addition to Fluffhead IPA! Last year the Block 15 community voted to send Fluff on an expedition to New Zealand, where he returned with Wai-iti hops in tow.
This summer, Fluff is once again looking for guidance on the geographical inspiration that will drive the dry-hop for this iteration of Fluff’s Travels IPA, our one-off variation of Fluffhead. Head to block15.com/fluff to vote for where Fluff should travel to next!
EMPLOYEE FIRE SALES
Beth will no longer be doing fire sales at the Tap Room on Tuesdays, and instead going forward will hopefully have some variation of an online shop for you to be able to purchase apparel. She will keep everybody updated as to when it goes live and how to access it, and will let you know if anything changes!
Also, as an FYI, pre-orders for fall apparel will be right around the corner, so make sure to keep an eye out for the order form in upcoming newsletters! You won’t want to miss out on this merch…it’s going to be 🔥!
