Cascade Brewing Announces Fruit Beer Fest LineUp
The Fruit Fest starts today at 4:30pm and goes through Sunday (or until the beers run out). We will be talking over nearly all the taps of the Cascade Brewing Barrel House, 939 SE Belmont St, with our own tart fruit beers, plus a Pale and an IPA for those who are new to sour beers. Look for more than two dozen beers to rotate through the taps during the weekend. There is no admission charge; beers are $2 per taster (more for the few ultra rare beers). The official draft list can be found HERE! Or, better yet, we’re listing the beers down below. We may still add to this list, after we rummage through the library. But we think it’s pretty darn amazing to begin with!
Following is the starting lineup, followed by beers that will be rotated in at various times throughout the weekend. Servus!
