Block 15 Brewing Promotes Green Truck American Light Lager to Year-Round Offering

CORVALLIS, OREGON—Block 15 Brewing is excited to announce that Green Truck, their 4.20% American Light Lager, is being promoted to a year-round offering. Block 15’s take on the classic style, Green Truck, first released in May 2024, is an easy-drinking lager brewed with the best Pacific Northwest grains, hops, and water.

The inspiration for the name Green Truck came from Block 15’s first forklift, “Clark,” which has put in a lot of hard work over the years and is still used today. Similarly, Green Truck symbolizes hard work and is an easy-drinking beer crafted for the crew. 

“We are excited that our Green Truck American Light Lager is ready to join our year-round perpetual offerings after a year of testing and evolution,” said Nick Arzner, Co-Owner and Founding Brewer at Block 15. “The beer highlights our brewery's regional sustainability efforts, and our fans appreciate its easy-drinking ABV. It’s light, refreshing, and a high-quality beer crafted with NW malts, hops, and solar power. It’s a great beer to kick back with friends and family, and to regularly add to your craft beer rotation.”

Green Truck Promotion Party

Block 15 is hosting a Green Truck Promotion Party on Memorial Day, May 26th, to celebrate at their Southtown Tap Room location at 3415 SW Deschutes St in Corvallis, Oregon. From 11 am - 9 pm, they’ll be offering $4 pints and $8 4-packs of Green Truck alongside the debut of their new barbecue menu. Starting at noon, there will be miniature remote-control forklift races on the hour, where partygoers can win Green Truck t-shirts, trucker hats, and stickers. Live music from bluegrass trio, Tuesday String Band, of Monmouth, Oregon, will be held from 4 - 7 pm.

About the Beer

Green Truck is a part of Block 15’s Lagered by the Sun program, representing their commitment to sustainable brewing practices by sourcing local and regional ingredients, utilizing solar energy in the lagering process, and implementing mindful brewing practices extending to the shelves and taps. Green Truck is made primarily with Pure Idaho Pilsner malt, a 100% Idaho-grown barley from Great Western Malting. 

Green Truck is a high-gravity brew watered back with filtered and deaerated water. The water Block 15 uses at their Production Brewery in Southtown Corvallis comes from the Taylor Treatment Plant and the Rock Creek Treatment Plant. Taylor, located in Southeast Corvallis, draws water from the Willamette River, accounting for approximately 69% of their total water supply. 31% comes from Rock Creek, which draws from the east side of Mary’s Peak, the highest point in the Coast Range. 

Block 15 chose Contessa hops for Green Truck, a United States-grown hop variety with Noble hop characteristics developed in Yakima Valley, Washington. The beer also features a strain of yeast tailored explicitly for light-lager production. All together, the ingredients in Green Truck add subtle notes of green tea, pear, and lemongrass to a crisp malt base.
