About
Pucker Up & Join the Sour Revolution

Cascade Brewing has been a pioneer in the sour beer renaissance since 2006 and is the proud innovator of the Northwest Sour Ale. We are, by nature, the definition of artisanal brewing: we’re not bound by stylistic guidelines, just our own imagination and the ingredients we can access. Our distinctive sour beer blends feature fruit forward, barrel-aged ales that offer a complex array of flavors derived from Northwest grown ingredients, with each release capturing the unique subtleties of that year’s growing season. Our beers are brewed at our original brewery in Southwest Portland, then blended and aged at our nearby Blending House, which holds more than 1,300 oaks barrels and nine foudre tanks.

7.9/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8.5
Shared bottle @ Patricks. Quite clear pale golden body with a small, fast disappearing, lacing white head. Aroma is nice, quite acidic fruity or maybe more in the direction of berries and grapes, hint of wood. Flavor is clean, crisp, acidic berries/grapes with wood and mild funk. Fine balanced body and rather tart in aftertaste. Very nice, feels quite acidic after the first sips, but seems to get in balance after a few more sips.

Sample at Haandfest 2019. Hazy pink body with a minimal white head. A bit light, but very nice aroma of pale malt, sour fruit and brett. Flavor is very refreshing, fruity acidic, some malt, floral, funky and smooth. Fine body and long lasting aftertaste. Nice one.

Bottle @ Drugie DNO, Warsaw May 2018. Unclear golden orange body with a small. Lacing white head. Delicate aroma of fruit and sour berries, grapes, mild wood and light funky. Flavor has a high complexity of fruit, berries, grapes, wood and mild funk/Brett. It’s kind of sweet and sour with not to much in any direction. Quite gentle actually, but very balanced and tasty. Just love it.

Bottle from the lcbo. Murky yellowish orange pour, with a medium white head. Aroma is wet hay, loads of citrus zest, earthy wood, barrel, and loads of funk, great example of the "barnyard aroma". Lovely mouth feel, lively carb. Very sour finish, dry, and crisp. Loads more funk and barnyard flavours, wet hay, hints of stone fruit, apricot, and orange marmalade.

750ml corked and caged bottle from the lcbo. Pours a slightly Cloudy reddish purple, with a small slightly pinkish white head. Incredibly tart, loads of earthy thyme, big berry notes, light lemon, with some hints og of mint. Very sour finish, light funk, thyme is very strong as it warms, the berries are still strong and prevalent, and the finish is minty with notes of earthy pine. Quite complex and interesting.

7.9/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Corked and caged 750ml bottle from the LCBO. Pours a slightly cloudy gold, with a large, lacy white head. A big, pungent blast of wet hay, and funk hit you right off the bat. Within there is some lemon zest, malted wheat, white wine, and earthy, semi sweet oak notes. mouthfeel is very lively, and crisp. Semi dry, vinous, and finishes incredibly sour. The chardonnay is a bit lost, there are notes of vinous white grapes, and oak, but they are subtle, the funky, lactic, lambic style flavours dominate.

7.4/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Hazy dark orange pour, small off white head. Aroma is tart, sour wheat, lots of spice and floral herbs. The rose petals and hibiscus seem lost, but there is a distinct spiciness that is quite nice. It's sour, but not over powering, a solid pucker in the end. White pepper and red peppers corns with a tangy stone fruit finish.
