Block 15 Brewing Announces 2024 Bourbon Month Events and Beer Releases

In a few short weeks, Bourbon Month returns to Block 15 Brewing in Corvallis, Oregon. It’ll also mark the 16th release of its Super Nebula bourbon barrel-aged beer series in a Bourbon Month celebration.

Bourbon Month launches on February 1st and continues throughout the entire month at the Block 15 Brewing Downtown Pub and Taproom location, along with a special Portland-based event at Saraveza and Bad Habit Room, and unique offerings at Caves Corvallis.

Block 15 Brewing is set to focus on bourbon through multiple avenues. With the release of four bourbon barrel-aged beers and a specialty collaboration beer with Hair of the Dog Brewing, the locations will also offer food pairings crafted by Executive Chef Sarah Farey, specialty bourbon cocktails by Downtown Director Alex Goodwin and Assistant General Manager Laura Wilson, and a chance to try 18 select bourbon offerings to complete a Bourbon Month 2024 stamp book. Bourbon Month also includes a more exclusive series of ticketed events, such as the Curated Pairing & Open House Event, Brewers Dinner, Bourbon Dinner hosted by Caves Corvallis, and Bourbon Month PDX hosted by Saraveza and Bad Habit Room.

About the Bourbon

Over the course of the month, Block 15 Brewing will be featuring 18 different specialty bourbons and whiskeys at both Corvallis Block 15 locations and Caves Corvallis. The list features the likes of King’s County Straight Bourbon out of Brooklyn, NY, and Heaven Hill Bottled in Bond from Kentucky and is curated by Goodwin herself. One specialty bourbon selection of the eighteen bourbons will be released each Monday for three weeks and will only be available that day. Stamp books will be offered to track which bourbons have been savored, with a party and prize for those who taste through them all.
