BLOCK 15 IPA EMPLOYEE SALE!

We are offering a sweet employee deal on Block 15 IPA 4-packs this weekend so we can clear up some cooler space. It is still drinking awesome, it's just a bit outside of our ideal freshness range for distribution.

4-packs will be a whopping $4 (so a full case would be $24)!

Orders can be placed via this employee-exclusive Square store link. You can pick up your order during Saturday's Drive-Thru Sale (8/29), and during the checkout process you can select a pick-up time between 10am-1pm. This is a different store than the normal, customer Saturday sale, so if you are putting in an order for the regular Saturday sale as well it will be two separate transactions, however you can pick both orders up together. The store will close Friday morning at 9am, however if you still want to order some after the link closes please let me know and I can work something out for ya!

If you are unable to pick up your order on Saturday during the set time frame, please let me know via HotSchedules or email (paige@block15.com) and I can coordinate a different time for you to pick it up. Or if you have any questions about the sale in general let me know!

CIDER TRIAL TESTING

The rumors are true, we’ve begun making hard cider! The brew team is currently developing the inaugural batch of Fresh Press, Unfiltered Hard Cider. Using a combination of Pacific Northwest apples and fermented with select European yeast, this cider is an easy drinker.

This is where you come in. We want your feedback! There are currently 2 development batches on tap at the Tap Room, and we’re offering two FREE 10oz pours as long as an in-depth review is provided afterwards. Tap Room staff will create a tab for you and add the cider to it, and once you have tried it and completed your review you can check back in with them and they will comp it for you. If you do not complete a review or decide you don’t have constructive feedback to give, you are responsible for paying for the value of the cider pour.

Here is the link below to access the review page. 

*TAP ROOM STAFF: There is a 100% Cider Trial discount button for you to use.

FOOD FEEDBACK!

UPCOMING CAN/BOTTLE RELEASES

  • Black is Beautiful // Imperial Stout with Blackberries / Started by Weathered Souls brewing in San Antonio, The Black is Beautiful initiative is a collaborative to bring awareness to the injustices that many people of color face daily. The mission is to bridge the gap that's been around for ages and provide a platform to show that the brewing community is an inclusive place for everyone of any color. For our version, we stuck as close to the base Imperial Stout recipe as possible, further maturing our release on 600lbs of Oregon Blackberries. 100% of proceeds from this beer will be donated to the NAACP Corvallis/Albany Brand, NAACP Student Chapter, and the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. // $20.40 / 4 pack

  • Turbulent Illumination // Blend of Belgian Tripel and Spontaneous Wild Ale / This unique 50/50 blend of young and old features stock from two Belgian-inspired beers, beautifully harmonizing familiar flavors and aromas to produce a complex blend that feels altogether new. Our young Belgian tripel, Illuminated, contributes classic Trappist notes of honey, golden raisins, and spice. Our lambic-inspired and spontaneously fermented wild ale, Turbulent Consequence, brightens the blend with citrusy acidity and flavors of orchard fruit, tropical fruit, and a rustic wild funk. // $11.50 / 500mL bottle
    *This is a re-release from earlier this year!
