I wish I had a steady supply of Sticky Hands. Such an underrated/fantastic beer.

Its a DIPA from a littlebrewery in Corvallis, OR, called Block 15. If you like hoppy DIPAs that punch you in the mouth, you will probably find this one to be tasty.

I think Block 15 is going to go big time in the next 3-4 years.

I don't think it's underrated. At least not by those who've tried it. It just hasn't been tried by enough people.

FYI - Block 15 just expanded there capacity by building a new production facility outside of Corvallis. Right now, they are brewing Sticky Hands once a month. Nobody has a steady supply. Not even at the brewery. It lasts about a week.

However, the new building is big enough to expand in, and they have ordered 3 more fermenters, of which two are dedicated to brewing Sticky Hands. Once those three babies are up and running, they will be able to produce a batch every week. At that point, we will have a steady supply in Oregon.

The Block 15 people want to make sure that the beer is fresh, so they plan on canning a new batch every Tuesday, and driving it to Portland every Wednesday. Right now, they can it on a Friday, and drive it to Portland on Wednesday. Apparently, that's not fresh enough...

I suspect that once it starts showing up in Portland weekly, that it will start becoming available through online outlets. Once that happens, the secret will be out, and it will not be underrated any longer.

I forgot that I took a pic of the new production facility on Saturday. The dude standing in the doorway was from Nashville. He has relatives in Portland and plans his trips to coincide with Sticky Hands releases.


ETA: Yes, the sky is that freaking blue on a sunny day in Oregon. Just not enough sunny days...

Hoppy and heavy on the tropical fruit. I love this beer. Could be my favorite beer.

I rated them: SH, JJ, HH. I bet Milo would rank them the same.

I go back and forth on the Ju Ju and the Head Hunter. They were close, in my book, although I liked them for different reasons. If I had to drink just one, that would be my order: SH, JJ, HH.

Next, you have to compare the Barley Brown's beers...

ETA: It's a slow Friday afternoon, here at Nike. I'm hoping they bring the beer cart around...
