Beer Around Town

Just saw this interview with Ron Gansberg from Cascade Brewing on Seattle Beer News.

This part was the most exciting for us PDX sour beer fans:

We are opening a second location on 935 SE Belmont. It will be called “Cascade Barrel House.” At this facility, we will be aging over 300 oak barrels of beer, blending, bottling and conditioning all our specialty products. This is a real commitment to our barrel-aged sour beer process. We will have a pub that will serve our specialty and sour beers as well as a few picked guest beers. We will also serve our barrel-aged beers straight through the cooler wall with traditional old brass taps… barrel strength Kriek, Bourbonic Plague from a Heaven Hills Bourbon barrel and Blond Quad to name a few. We want to tap a new beer every week. We are targeting mid to late winter for the opening.

Ron and Curtis have continued to amaze me with their sour beers, and from the results of the GABF I’m not alone. Hopefully this will really draw some well deserved attention to the great work they have been doing and give them the much needed room to expand.

Congrats on the GABF wins!
