The Block 15 thread

I really enjoyed this one too; has this really nice lemon gumdrop nose on it, ultra clean and bright. Almost wish I could get it in cans.

 

Anyone had the red, white and boom? I drove up to block 15 and picked up 2 four packs of it but didn't see it on tap until after i had ordered the anthem of the sun.. I'm about to open one after my glass gets a little freeze on

 

I've had a bit of Red White and BOOM! today, both on tap and from the can. The nose is mostly pine and papaya, with a green herbal note (thyme?). Carbonation is moderate, and the body feels a bit heavy. Flavor is dry, quite bready, with a mild sweetness and slight tanginess at the beginning. Bitterness starts out moderate but gains momentum through the middle and finishes with an impressive and satisfying grapefruit pith/herbal hop punch.

 

a complicated review for something that you could say is pretty good.

 

Is Ferme de Ville out? I asked the liquor store in Newport to order some

 

Doesn't Block 15 self distribute? Not sure you can order it...?

 

A complete review that you call "complicated " is better then no review and just saying its pretty good

 

Red, White & BOOM is here in Salem. At Growl Movement.
Great beer as expected

 

Will it be in Hearth & Table?

 

Anyone know how long they plan on doing single releases instead of the quarter? I heard it was the new norm but I was curious if I was misinformed.

 

The first Saturday of each month we will release a hop forward canned offering and something from our barrel program. Saturday August 6th is Peach Punch (you in the eye) a cooperative beer with Great Notion and Cassidy a wild ale matured in sauterness barrels with flowers. These are at our Tap room with the hopes of enough stock that the bottles/cans are available for a week or so.

Brunch reservation style releases will happen 2-3 times a year for Figgy Pudding in November, Super Nebula in February, and possibly another date in late spring. During these releases our canned offering will be a Sticky Hands variation.

The best info is always through our newsletter, sign up found at the bottom of our web page.

 

Thanks for the response. I am already signed up for the newsletter.

 

Damn you B15, always coming up with beers I have to have! Whatever, the drive up HWY 99 from eugene is awesome when you know your gonna have/ get some awesome beer... Also can i please buy some more Funky hands??? I know you guys got some hiding somewhere. I had to send my last one down to CA for a friend that loves Sticky hands.
Love your loyal minion. aka me

 

Yeah last time I was at 16 tons one of them was saying they still had one keg. They didn't say when it was going on. I would still wanna have some bottles to have for my own special occasion.

 

A little part of me will be bummed if they don't at least wait until the anniversary. My money's on this beer having some legs.

 

nimal Cookies is at Capital Taproom in Salem.
Drinking a pint now. WOW one fruity hoppy explosion.

 

I had this on tap at Bailey's and didn't find it nearly as tropical/fruity as Tropical Slam. I'd place it behind both regular SH and Tropical Slam, though it is pretty damn good.
