UPCOMING PACKAGED RELEASES
Releasing Friday, 9/24
Fresh Catch // FRESH HOP IPA// This unimaginably Fresh-Hopped IPA was brewed with newly harvested Amarillo hops, picked up from nearby Crosby Hop Farm. Mere hours later they were added to our custom “hop back” tank, capturing the fresh hops’ aroma oils. The result is a bold, resinous trophy catch bursting with hop notes of ripe orange and tangerine. // 6.50% ABV /16oz Can

PUB UPDATES
Effective today, Wednesday September 22nd, we will no longer offer reservations for the main dining areas of the Pub. We will still offer reservations for the Game Room for up to 15 people (the max amount of people that can comfortably fit in that space). Anyone interested in making a reservation for the Game Room will need to email gameroom@block15.com and Goody will confirm the reservation based on availability. Walk up parties will still be limited to a max of 12 people due to table availability and flow in the restaurant. If a guest wants to split their larger party into smaller groups to be sat, they may do so, but it must be their suggestion. Please feel free to check in with a manager if you have any questions!

Check back next week!
