61: Super Nebula

I actually picked this growler up the night before I toured Block 15 with owner Nick Arzner, thinking I’d have it as an after-dinner beer in my Corvallis hotel room. I didn’t end up opening the seal that night (I was tired; drinking beer semi-professionally is hard work!), but it was still full of life a few weeks later when I shared it with a friend. I found it as good as any of the Block 15 brews I did beer reviews of earlier … I wonder if they make a bad beer? You gotta love this unique growler artwork, too.

* Saturday night and Sunday, I was a guest of Corvallis Tourism, who were good enough to put me up for the night in the unpronounceable Salbasgeon Suites and arrange for tours of several breweries, including Block 15. I paid for the growlers, though. ;)
