Block 15 Bottle Release February 7th.

The latest Block 15 bottle release will be on February 7th. Block 15 will continue its lottery option for a chance to get a reservation for Brunch and a guarantee to buy the full allotment of bottles. You can also take your chances and wait in line when they open and if your one of the first 50 people you can get the full allotment as well. See info below.

 

February 7th Bottle Release


Join us Saturday February 7th as we release three bourbon barrel matured beers from our cellars; Super Nebula, Kriek, and Super Nebula Coffee with Elijah.  All beers have been bottle conditioned in our new 500ml format.  Please read below for information on each beer, limits, brunch reservations, and Three-liter availability.   This release is a part of bourbon month at Block 15 and Les Caves.  In addition to the bottles we will have all beers on tap, a nice bourbon menu, and food specials featuring bourbon in the recipes.  Friday February 6th, Les Caves will  feature a barrel matured beer event with over a dozen beers.


 

Super Nebula


Each year we mature Super Nebula, our imperial version of Nebula stout, in unique bourbon casks before selecting origin specific cocoa nibs to complement the blend.

Episode VI
2014 Super Nebula was matured in Heaven Hill distilleries bourbon barrels layering characters of dark oak, vanilla, bourbon and coconut.  Fresh roasted organic cocoa nibs from Ecuador and Nicaragua were added during conditioning lending notes of toffee, hazelnut, and rich Dutch cocoa.
11.25% ABV, $11, Limit 5 

Super Nebula, Coffee With Elijah

Our brewers selected and matured this special edition of 2014 Super Nebula in a single twelve-year-old Elijah Craig bourbon cask and then conditioned on freshly roasted organic cocoa nibs from Ecuador and Nicaragua and a cold extraction of premium coffee beans.  The beans, Benevolence blend and single origin Ethiopian Yirgacheffe were hand roasted by Mud River Roasting, and selected for their unique dark chocolate, toasted nut, and blueberry profiles.
11.25% ABV, $12, Limit 1





 

Kriek, A Three Summers Cuvee


Early in the summer The Cherry Country delivers fresh picked Montmorency cherries from their orchard to our brewery.  Our brewers immediately pack these tart red beauties into first and second use Kentucky bourbon casks before filling them with Enchanted, our open fermented Oud Bruin. Each autumn we blend three seasons from select barrels marrying fresh and mature cherry notes with gentle bourbon, oak, rich malt, and balancing acidity.
7.75% ABV, $12, Limit 3


3 Liter Bottle Lottery


When bottling the Kriek and Super Nebula this year, we also packaged some large format 3 liter bottles.  We will be raffling off the opportunity to purchase them for $90 per bottle of Kriek, or $90 per bottle of Super Nebula.  To be entered in the lottery, please go to www.block15.com/bottlerelease by January 15th at 6pm and select the 3 liter release lotter.  You will be informed if you were selected on Friday January 21st. Bottles can be picked up Feb. 7th, or arrangements can be made for a later date.


Bottles Available At 11am

When we open for regular business at 11am we will have enough bottles at the above limits for at least 50 people in line. There should be enough Super Nebula for more than 70 people in line. We will also have hot coffee, high fives, and Super Nebula doughnuts made by our friends at NutCakes for those waiting in line.


Brunch! 9am-10am (Reservations Required)

We have two options for you to enjoy the morning of the release. A confirmed brunch reservation includes the right to purchase all bottles up to the limit amount. As our releases have become more popular we are continuing a lottery system. It is our hope that everyone who wants a reservation is able to secure one. Bottle limits are set so that even if you do not secure a reservation, the first 50 people in line when we open at 11am will be able to purchase full amounts of bottles. This is why bottle limits may change the day of the release
