Block 15 Distribution and Level Beer Announce New Partnership
Portland, Oregon—Level Beer and Block 15 Distribution announce a new partnership to expand sales throughout Oregon. Level Beer will now be more available throughout the state, extending its reach through the Willamette Valley, Southern Oregon, and parts of Eastern Oregon. Beginning January 13th, 2025, they will distribute beers such as the Oregon Beer Awards Silver Medal-winning Let's Play American Pilsner and Bad Hombre Mexican-style Lager, as well as other year-round and seasonal favorites.
Founded in 2017 by Shane Watterson, Jason Barbee, and Geoff Phillips, Level Beer now includes three locations in the Portland Metro area: Their flagship Brewery & Beer Garden located in Northeast Portland, with two additional tap rooms in Multnomah Village and Buckman Kerns. Level's penchant for nostalgia and a raucous sense of humor balance well with their locations' family-friendly, relaxed atmosphere.
Level focuses on producing easy-drinking, lower-alcohol ales and lagers, offering a mix of seasonal and year-round beers in can and draft formats, such as Game On IPA, Let's Play American Pilsner, Pixelated Pale Ale, Rewind Amber Ale, Skyward Strike Hazy Pale Ale, Sweep the Leg Japanese-style Rice Lager, and Bad Hombre Mexican-style Lager.
