Late Fall Bottle Release

November 1st & 2nd, 2025

Join Us for Specialty Beers
& Pairing Events each November

Our Late Fall Bottle Release features a collection of barrel-aged beers that pay homage to tradition while embracing richness and creativity. Among our favorites to take to celebrations during the holidays, we release these as a collection to complement the festive moments we all cherish.

Imagine is a longstanding beer in the Block 15 lineup of cellar-aged beers. Unique in our style offerings, this Belgian Imperial Stout is crafted with a Trappist yeast strain, Belgian candi syrup, and specialty malts, which express delicate fruity esters and spiciness, along with characters picked up from the bourbon barrels in which it's aged. Each batch of Imagine ages in our cellar for two years in bourbon barrels, rotating distilleries each time to give each release a flavor unique to its vintage.

As the beer is prepared for release, we section off a small portion to rest on a Belgian-inspired treat. These variants enable us to get creative within the program and make for fun days in the cellar (imagine a large batch of cookies going into a beer). Past variants include: Chocolate Hazelnut, Joyous Almond, Stroopwafel, and more.

To celebrate this collection of beers, we host special events with curated food pairings at each of our locations. See this year’s beers and events below. Sign up for our newsletter to be notified when event tickets go on sale!
