Block 15 Distribution and Level Beer Announce New Distribution Partnership
Beginning today, Portland, Oregon’s Level Beer will expand distribution outside of its current distribution area with Maletis Beverage by partnering with Block 15 Distribution. This new partnership with Block 15 Distribution will allow Level Beer to expand sales throughout more of Oregon, including the Willamette Valley, Southern Oregon, and parts of Eastern Oregon.
Founded in 2017 by Geoff Philips, Shane Watterson, and Jason Barbee, Level Beer now includes three locations in the Portland Metro area: The brewery’s flagship Brewery & Beer Garden located in Northeast Portland, with two additional tap rooms in the Multnomah Village and Buckman Kerns neighborhoods.
Level focuses on producing easy-drinking, lower-alcohol ales and lagers, offering a mix of seasonal and year-round beers in can and draft formats, such as Game On IPA, Let’s Play American Pilsner, Pixelated Pale Ale, Rewind Amber Ale, Skyward Strike Hazy Pale Ale, Sweep the Leg Japanese-style Rice Lager, and Bad Hombre Mexican-style Lager.
“We’re very excited to join forces with Block 15 Distribution to share Level Beer with even more Oregon beer lovers,” said Level Beer’s co-owner Shane Watterson, in a press release. “We’ve been impressed with Block 15’s commitment to quality and are honored to join them in an effort to bring balanced beer to the masses!”
Block 15 Distribution, located in Corvallis, Oregon, is dedicated to helping like-minded producers control how their beer reaches the market while providing the PNW with fresh products. Its supplier partners include renowned breweries such as Ferment Brewing, Wayfinder Beer, ColdFire Brewing, de Garde Brewing, and Block 15 Brewing, and recently added Helvetia Cider Company in the Oregon and Southwest Washington territories.
“We’re beyond excited to add Level Beer to our portfolio of brands,” said Ian Hutchings, Chief Operating Officer at Block 15 Distribution, in a press release. “They’re an established, respected brand with a great brewery and team of people behind it. They bring a contagious element of fun, and we look forward to their success in our book.”
