Cascade Brewing Unveils Limited Seasonal Release Cocoa Cardamom

Cascade Brewing in Portland, Oregon has announced the release of a new seasonal brew called Cocoa Cardamom. Full details on this beer are below.

PORTLAND, Ore.—Cascade Brewing is celebrating the holiday season with a new sour ale project. Cocoa Cardamom 2018 is a blend of sour blond ales aged in oak wine barrels and foudres for up to two years followed by late infusions of Dutch cocoa powder, cardamom seeds and fresh orange zest. From notes of dark chocolate to bright citrus fruit and fragrant cardamom, this limited release captures a remarkably complex spectrum of flavors that belie the simple golden hue of the ale. The project ABV ranges from 8.7% in bottles and kegs to 9.8% in 250 ml cans.

Cascade Brewing will release Cocoa Cardamom this Friday, Dec. 4, in 250 ml slim cans, 500 ml bottles and draft kegs. The project will be available through Cascade Brewing’s distribution network and at the brewery’s two Portland-area pubs: Cascade Brewing Barrel House at 939 SE Belmont St. and The Lodge at Cascade Brewing at 7424 SW Beaverton Hillsdale Hwy. Both pubs are now back open with outdoor limited seating only for parties of six or less; the Barrel House is open from 3-9 p.m. and The Lodge is open from 12-9 p.m.
