Block 15 Brewing Welcomes in Winter with Fresh Pow Hazy IPA
Winter arrives early in Corvallis as Block 15 Brewing Co. will release its winter seasonal Fresh Pow Hazy IPA at both Corvallis locations on Friday, November 22, 2024. Brewed fresh through January, the beer is packed with more pow for a resinous, citrusy, tropical hop avalanche with a soft, pillowy body.
“We modernized the hops for this year’s release of Fresh Pow, making it more fruity and less pine-forward than previous iterations,” stated Garrison Schmidt, Head Brewer at Block 15. “For fans of the New Zealand variety Nelson Sauvin, we doubled it, removed Chinook from the dry hop, and added Comet Salvo for a more prominent hop presence without adding bitterness to the final product.”
First brewed in 2018, Fresh Pow has been a wintertime staple in the Willamette Valley and beyond. With artwork from Artist and outdoor enthusiast Chris Herbst, located in Ashland, Oregon, this seasonal beer is intended to accompany adventure seekers during winter activities. Powabunga!
Fresh Pow Hazy IPA will be available at Block 15 locations in Corvallis beginning on Friday, November 22 and shortly afterward in grocery stores and craft beer establishments around the Pacific Northwest through Block 15 Distribution.
