    Agreed. I had my bottle of Autumn Farmhouse a few nights ago and it was one of the best saisons I've had in years. So many layers ...

    I'm going to the brewery on Saturday, which location should I go to and will they have anything to go I should get? I've never been before :slight_smile:

    Brewery & Taproom (new spot) taplist: http://block15.com/#tr-menu-tap-list

    Be aware that there's a Beavers game tomorrow at 1, so the restaurant will probably be pretty packed. Not sure if the brewery taproom gets busy before/during games, but they don't have TVs there, so probably not.

    I went to the downtown one a few months ago and they were sold out of Sticky Hands cans the waitress said the new place had larger supplies

    Go to both, imo. Grab some food at the brewpub, then drive a few minutes down the road and drain their Sticky Hands keg out on the beautiful porch.

    I agree, the artwork is great! Most of it is done by Corvallis artist Patricia Smith (studiosmugbug.com).

    Has anybody seen bottles or cans in the Seattle area?
    I picked up Gloria at Chucks but not a huge pils fan.
    I had Sticky Hands on my trip down to Oregon this summer. I will say I'm hooked and want more.

    Chucks sporadically gets Sticky Hands, but not as often as releases in Oregon.

    It looks like Beer Junction will be getting distribution as well. They got a Sticky Hands can drop a few weeks ago and had it on draft. They have Block 15's Autumn Farmhouse on draft right now.

    I'm down in Puyallup right now and enjoying that Autumn Farmhouse at Rainier Growlers. Nice place with lots of taps, family friendly with a very small curated selection of bottled sours and barrel-aged stouts.

    stopped in the production brewery today. they are sending a Sh*t ton of crowlers up to NWIPA in Portland for whatever event they have going on. Dab lab and Story of the Ghost I think.

    Block 15 has very specific distribution/delivery info on their site. You could basically follow the trucks around town

    Drinking my final can of Story of the Ghost at the moment. Can we petition to make it, hop shop, and dab lab year round with sticky hands?

    We can petition if we add funky hands to the list.

    Block 15 might be making the best IPAs in the NW right now. Any style you want, they pretty much nail it.

    Did they release any fresh hop ales this year? I'm drawing a blank...

    I think they did, but only at the brewery and not very many. I never got a chance to try them if they did
