The Block 15 thread

It is very easy to find. And I agree, it's really good stuff.

 

It is the one beer I return home with every time I visit Portland. Love the stuff.

 

Is it a hazy? Reading the sales info about it, I thought it was going to just be a bright and crisp Summer IPA similar to Reubans.

 

This is where Untappd comes in handy.

 

I stopped using untapped because I didn't enjoy seeing how much beer I drink. Plus I'm kind of not really a fan of documenting everything I've ever seen, done, or tasted. I use my brain to remember what really sticks out, and the rest go into that Hazy mental rolodex of obscurity.

That being said, there's no doubt that beer is Hazy AF.

 

Fresh Flow hit Seattle today, grabbed a can before I commit to a four-pack.

 

It’s good. Very good IMO. Praying that it lingers for a little while due to 3way mania

 

Stop copying me! Seriously though, It really seems like that block 15 has a hit on their hands here.

 

Absolutely agree. This beer is delightfully delicious.

 

Tried the the 2nd Canniversery beer collab between Alesong and Block 15 at Lardo. Absolutely fantastic traditional IPA that was like a breath of fresh air with all the Hazies. Well worth checking out if it's still there

 

Hot damn, everything about that beer sounds right to me, from the collaborators to the style to your description to the fact that I'd be drinking it at Lardo, and therefore there would also be sandwiches.

I doubt I'll finish my current course of antibiotics before they run out of the beer, but a man can dream.

 

Hat tip to @ppilot for putting that Block 15/Alesong IPA collab on my radar. I had a pint this afternoon at Growler Guys and liked it so much I'm bringing some home to drink with Mrs. vurt on our patio tonight.

Also bringing home a 4-pack of Fresh Flow. (I would've said "For science," but you probably already knew that.)

 

I saw tnat on tap at a local tap house but chose boring old Tsunami Stout..which i am still finishing off out on the deck as i type

 

Bought a couple of can of this year's Red, White, and Boom. Big time difference from prior versions as it went from a traditional hoppy West Coast IPA to more of tropical malty one. Still very good.

 

Just got a 4-pack of fresh flow in tri cities, really tasty.

 

Kennewick, pasco, Richland? If so where? Or another TC? Never seen block 15 in the KPR. I will be one happy camper if sticky hands and block 15 come to town.

 

They have it at mid Columbia wine and spirits they had fresh flow and sticky hands, also brews taphouse has fresh flow on tap. They’re getting deliveries from block 15 once a month.

 

Had to investigate and it is confirmed. Sticky is in the tri-cities! Wasn’t able to score the fresh flow, oh well. Did score sticky canned 7/9. This is the “youngest” beer MCWS has ever had in its store. I hope all the aged IPAs play nice.

Let me give a big thank you to @Block15Brewing. I know you guys self distribute, so thanks for going 5 hours or so out of your way.

And thanks to @JerryMeow for the info!

 

So I'm a recent transplant to the PDX area (brewer at Breakside production facility) and I've had some great Block 15 stuff in the past, but the Fresh Flows I had last night was outrageously good. I'd put it up there with the best hazies I've had. If this beer was coming from Trillium, Other Half, Monkish, etc, the hype would be out of control. Very excited to visit the tap room soon.
