– Cascade Sour Showcase – Thursday 20 to Sunday 23 May
Sour beers – if you know, you know. Cascade Brewing certainly know, and they’ve been slamming out some of the best sours anywhere in the world for the past 15 years. Based in Oregon (US), they’re not bound by stylistic guidelines – just their own imagination, and the ingredients that they’re able to access. Their sour beer blends feature fruit forward, barrel-aged ales that offer a complex array of flavour, derived from their North-West US grown ingredients. Each release captures the unique subtleties of that year’s growing season, and all their beers come from their original brewery in Southwest Portland, before being blended and aged at their nearby blending house.
We’ve been waiting for the perfect time to put on some of our favourite beers of Cascade’s from our cellar – and the return of indoor seating at Port Street couldn’t be any more ideal. We’ve got three beers available – served by the third, half, two thirds, or pint – that aim to give a decent scope of their ethos. We’re also serving by the flight. Available Thursday through to Sunday.
