Block 15 turns Fifteen; Celebrates with Anniversary Festival and Collaboration Beers

Corvallis, Oregon’s Block 15 Brewing is turning Fifteen. With that kind of monumental accomplishment, you can’t pass up the opportunity to throw a beer fest to match the milestone that matches the name of the brand. The 15th Anniversary: Past, Present, and Future Fest will be hend on Saturday, April 22nd at Block 15’s Southtown Taproom, featuring the release of three special collaboration beers which will go out on a distribution tour shortly after the party.

The Anniversary Celebration will start with a limited VIP session from 1-2 pm, with general entry tickets starting at 2 pm and carrying through the night until 10 pm. The day will include live music, food from Portland’s Tastebud Wood Fired Pizza and Block 15’s Snack Shack, live screen printing, industry friends, new beer releases, vintage bottle releases, and the tapping of The Past, The Present, and The Future collaborations. The theme will focus on the past, present and future relationships that Block 15 Brewing has held over the years and are excited to make. Bring your friends and family; kids’ 12 and under admission will be free!

“We can’t believe it has been 15 years since we opened our doors! We want to sincerely thank the community of Corvallis and the friends we have made in the industry throughout this time. Here’s to many more beers and meals  with our friends and family, Corvallis, and beyond.” - Nick and Kristen Arzner

About the Beers

The Past: Amber Ale - Partnering with Joel from Corvallis Brewing Supply, The Past is a brew to celebrate the building blocks of Block 15 brewing. Corvallis Brewing Supply and Joel Rea were instrumental in Block 15’s beginning and development as a community brewpub. From supplying our first home brew kit to providing knowledge and encouragement as we put together the dream of Corvallis’ first locally-owned brewpub. Few things stand the test of time as a crisp amber ale. We hope to inspire you as he did with generations of Oregon beer lovers. This brew is a toast to the past!

The Present: West Coast IPA - Partnering with our friends from ColdFire Brewing, The Present is a brew to celebrate the up-and-coming breweries in the industry. ColdFire has been a long-time friend, and we couldn’t be more excited to work with them. A shared vision of craft beer brought us together, but juicy Nectaron hops sealed our bond for this IPA. There’s no time like the present to create this delicious beverage with our friends from ColdFire.

The Future: Rice Lager - Partnering with the Oregon State University (OSU) Fermentation Science Department, The Future is a brew to celebrate the developing research and the new beginnings to the industry! This crisp and refreshing lager features pilsner malt grown in the PNW. A more sustainable beer for our future.

Revolve: Bier de Champagne Aged in Peach Brandy Barrels - Entering our 15th revolution, this golden ale features NW grown grains cellared two years with brettanomyces in peach brandy barrels and bottled, riddled and discouraged in the méthode traditionnelle, revolve symbolizes remaining in motion without forgetting where we started.

Foreland, Ferment, de Garde, Bespoken, ColdFire, Ale Apothecary, The Bier Stein
