Brewery: Block 15 – Corvallis, OR
Brewery IG: @block15brewing
———————————–
Rating: 4/5
Notes: ? I feel I never told you ? Not sure if this is at all a Phish reference on purpose, and I doubt it is, but I’m going with it. Not my favorite Block 15 as there’s something in the tail end that throws me off but still a solid brew. Block 15 never disappoints.
Can Art: Sick can design. Really great illustration and moon.
Drinkage: The date on the can was cut off but I think it was 18 days from date on can.

Brewery: Sasquatch Brewing Company – Portland, OR
Brewery IG: @sasquatchbrewery
———————————–
Rating: 3.5/5
Notes: Couldn’t get into this one much. Not sure what didn’t do it for me but it was interesting with the gold flakes in it. As you can see for yourself, I tried to get a picture of of the gold but it doesn’t really do it justice. I’m looking forward to trying more of Sasquatch’s beers as I’m hearing good things.
Can art: Really cool design with the woman and burst behind her.
Drinkage: 1 month from can date

Brewery: Great Notion – Portland, OR
Brewery IG: @greatnotionpdx
———————————–
Rating: 3.5/5
Notes: Don’t go by my rating unless your like me and don’t care much for stouts. Previously I rated other stouts higher but in hindsight I shouldn’t have because I just don’t dig them. This one has tons of flavor though so I’m sure stout fans will love it. The pecan gives it a slightly nutty flavor but the brown sugar really stands out for me. It’s very sweet as I would expect a breakfast stout. If you like stouts I you’d like this beer and I’m sure would rate it higher than I have.
Can art: I don’t think Great Notion has a bad beer label or even mediocre one. This is a sick illustration and props to the artist @timberps for always killing it with the labels.
Drinkage: Day of can release. 1 day after date on can. ———————————–
