Oregon's Willamette Valley is well known for its wines, especially its pinot noir and pinot gris, but that's not the only craft beverage Oregon produces. We're also famous for our craft beers.
The Mid-Willamette Valley Food Trail is pleased to include four excellent breweries, and their tap lists embrace everything from IPAs to porters, stouts to ales, and just about everything else you can brew from hops, malts, and barleys and pour in a glass. Our breweries source their ingredients carefully and locally, creating eclectic brews that might include fruits or foraged and wild ingredients, and aged in bourbon or wine barrels. These craft brews can make a beer aficionado out of anyone.
Check out our four member breweries, and take a look at a few beers you should be sure to try when you visit them.
Offering unique hop-forward ales, crisp lagers, barrel-aged rarities and one of the Northwest’s most extensive wild and sour programs, Block 15 produces a range of artfully crafted beers.
At Block 15 Restaurant & Brewery, put Sticky Hands, a hop experience ale, or Nebula, an oat stout, on your to-do list.
You can try Block 15's brews at their downtown pub at 300 SW Jefferson Ave. (map) or their tasting room at 3415 SW Deschutes Street (map), both in Corvallis.
