Internal Brewsletter - May 18, 2022
UPCOMING PACKAGED RELEASES
Releasing Friday, 5/20
Island in the Sky: Hazy Imperial India Pale Ale// Loaded with Chinook, Cascade, Mosaic and Belma hops, Island in the Sky is a beautifully complex hazy IIPA. Featuring hop notes of blueberry and strawberry, this beer is piney and floral, reflecting the regional landscapes that inspired it.
// 9.00% ABV / 16oz can
Nebula: Oat Stout// This American-Style out sout was brewed with rolled oats, English Maris Otter, and five different specialy dark malts, imparting rich and roasty notes of coffee, dark chocolate, and caramel that are softened by a smooth body and balanced finish.
// 6.00% ABV / 16oz can
DRAFT RELEASES
Pear & Apple Cider: Spontaneous Cider// Crisp white apple flesh, pineapple, honey, mild vinous qualities, and a touch of oaky tannin from the barrel. Balanced acidity with a touch of sweetness to keep the dry from being puckering. Just a hint of spontaneous funk, but mostly a very clean drinking experience. This is a blend of pears and apples all sourced from independent Willamette Valley orchards. Spontaneous fermentation and maturation took place over two years in our cold cellar in neutral Willamette Valley Pinot Noir barrels. Cold fermented, this cider pours a hazy yellow gold and would pair well with anything from rich aged cheeses to summer salads.
// 7.50% ABV / Draft Only

EVENTS
Animal lovers! This weekend, we partnered with Heartland Humane Society for their annual fundraiser, wine, and whiskers! We thought it would be fun to also bring some furry friends over to the taproom to hang with a sponsored animal!
Head on down to the Tap Room tomorrow (Thursday) at 3 pm and give some free pets while sipping a brew!
Email kelsea@block15.com if you have any questions!
TAP ROOM UPDATES
We have a second mini-fridge next to the south taps. This is so that we can move our lemonade pitchers/iced tea and 2towns cans out of our main beer window. The only thing that should live in our can cooler from now on is Block 15 Beer.

PUB UPDATES
Remember - please make sure that the keg walk-in door is closed behind you after doing a beer restock or changing a keg! The door doesn’t automatically latch, so it will need to be physically closed each time.
Please refer to the “Where Do Mats Live?” sheet that is printed and on the Server clipboard. We checked in with Alsco to make sure we only have the exact amounts of mats that we need, so any additional mats should be pointed out to a manager so that we can adjust the par.
