    Rad. Glad your digging the cookies. We may brew it again some day, though Cashmere hops are difficult procure. I think you'll find our monthly canned IPA series a nice complement to the Sticky Hands offering. Working on a real fun Cooperation brew for the August release with a PDX brewery.

    May be the first time in history that sentence has ever been created. :wink: (coming from a UofNike hater)

    It's so awesome that Block 15 stuff is becoming easier to get, no more hoping you made the cut with your bottle shop guy when they're lucky enough to get a case of Sticky Hands in.

    Are Animal Cookies distributed to Seattle? I need to tell my buddy to get on them if they are.

    Still on tap at Cedar Hills New Seasons, along with Boneyard Notorious. To me, Animal Cookies is more piny and resiny than the citrusy/tropical Sticky Hands, and the bitter/herbal punch at the end is not for the timid. Great stuff, but like you, I prefer Sticky Hands.

    Nope. We get super random/limited B15 shipments.

    To the best of my knowledge, I think the cans are only available at the brewery.

    Was hoping to find some cans in Eugene, but was advised the beer wasn't distributed outside the brewery.

    Am still hoping to try it during Arch Bridge's upcoming B15 event.

    Not sure about the tap situation in Portland, but I know of a spot or two north of the border that has it on tap currently.

    By the way...

    Was not aware they were doing this, but just received the following information update in my newsletter.

    Tap Room Cellar Stash
    Tuesday, June 7

    Join us on the first Tuesday of every month for a Cellar Stash release at our Tap Room. Each release, our founding brewer Nick will be offering up a small quantity of rare, cellared Block 15 beers for in-house consumption.

    2013 Super Nebula
    This vintage of our iconic imperial stout was matured in twelve-year-old Rowan’s Creek bourbon barrels, layering in character of tobacco, coconut, caramel, vanilla, and oak. Conditioned on house-roasted Belizean organic cocoa nibs, lending notes of macadamia nut, espresso, dried fruits, and deep dark chocolate.

    2014 Farm to Fruit
    Created to celebrate Caves Bier & Kitchen's 2nd anniversary, this farmhouse ale was brewed with Belgian barley, raw wheat, oats, and Mosaic & Citra hops—and then open-fermented with farmhouse yeast. That young beer was then barrel-matured for 10 months with fresh organic apricots, a portion of each Caves Saison brewed since 2012, and resident micro-organisms from our wild mother barrel.

    Just as an oh by the way... Am drinking a glass of sticky hands at 16 tons (which is hardly news), and the current batch serms to be particularly outstanding. Always seems like there's some batch variation, but am really liking this batch.

    Just drinking Anthem of the Sun..very beautiful, delicate Belgian sour.
    Bargain at the price.
    Though maybe its something i ate earlier..but its almost like a sour/gose hybrid..getting some sea salt on the after taste.
    Which for me makes it even more delicious.
