    Not sure how many folks follow Block 15 on FB or Twitter but figured I would start updating their new releases in this thread since I stay on top of them. They've moved to a two track system, with some bottles being more widely available while others will be much more limited and only available at the brewery in Corvallis. Haven't had a bad beer from Block 15 and I'd highly recommend all of their stuff.

    Coming up on October 6th they will be releasing:

    The Demons Farm (formerly known as Le Ferme De Demons) 750ml 100 Cases
    Strawberry Fields. 375m bottles 100 cases
    Framboise White. 375ml 50 cases (pub only release)
    Caves Saison Anniversary Grand Cru. 750ml 20 cases (Caves Only)

    On November 10th or 17th there will be another three releases:

    Figgy Pudding. 750ml 150 cases
    Kriek Three Seasons Cuvee. 375ml 50 cases (pub only release)
    Caves Saison Holiday Ale, 750ml 50 cases (Caves Only)

    As of today, bottles of Golden Canary and Le Ferme De La Ville Provision are available at Belmont Station if folks missed the release at the brewery or Beer Mongers (not sure if the latter still has some around).

    I'll update this thread with any new information as it is released.

    Shhh, be quiet! I like it better when release dates fly under the radar without threads about them three months in advance. :wink:

    I do too but I also want to encourage them to bottle more through good sales :stuck_out_tongue: Plus, it's the PNW...Pretty sure I could send a giant, flashing message about upcoming releases to everyone from OR and WA and most folks would figure that it will still be around in a week or two...and I'd still wind up being only one of a handful of folks lined up at the door the day of haha.

    On behalf of those of us who love Block 15 but have to trade to get it, thank you for posting this. Great to know when I should be gathering my trade goodies to send West.

    Should anyone in this thread be willing to trade from either release (esp. Figgy Pudding) let me know.

    Oh c'mon guys, there is plenty of Block 15 goodness to go around. Just means those folks who are interested in trading for it will know what's coming up. For those of us who drive down for releases I'm betting nothing changes all that much as a result of a little thread in an under-visited regional forum on BA :stuck_out_tongue:

    Certainly not under visited by me, some of us New Englanders are mainly lurkers in your neighborhood.

    Love that I was part of the Caves Grand Cru idea, but I find out the release date on BA haha. Guess I can't take a few days off :slight_smile:. All of these beers are fantastic, but trust me, the Framboise White is the shit. Been lucky enough to sample that from the barrel a few different times this year, and it's very impressive.
    There is also a Cellar Stash release September 15th for Corvallis Beer Week. Only place you'll be able to get Imagine for quite awhile. You had to pre-order brunch tickets to be able to buy the beers, but I'm sure New Englanders might be able to talk some locals out of bottles :slight_smile:.

    Another out of region lurker here. Anybody who wants to trade some of these for Great Lakes regional stuff (Three Floyd's, Goose Island, Kuhnhenn, Perennial, Pipeworks, New Glarus, etc.) bowel movement me.

    Yep, you'd have to pry them from my cold, dead hands. I tend not to trade much of my Block 15 stuff. I still kinda regret getting rid of one of my Belmont Anniversary beers for a 2010 Darkness haha.

    I'll trade you a Belmont 15 for a 2010 Darkness if you're suffering from trader's remorse.
