So, Cascade Brewing closed today… can’t say I loved everything from them, but their enormous cannot (and should not) be denied…

That’s to bad always enjoyed what I’ve tried. Visited taproom last summer and had nice meal and few brews
That is sad. I visited the Portland barrelhouse in 2019, every beer was beyond impressive in a way I hadn’t experienced in bottle.
Hopefully the influence and hard work of breweries like Cascade will somehow live on.

Article reads that the founder sold the business on a long-term payment plan that hadn’t come to term. He died last month & the family doesn’t want to keep paying for a sinking ship.
What a mess. And with presumably most of the assets in barrels there’s not a lot of loss-cutting going on here.
I am sure their beers will continue to be found on selves for years to come.
Wow what a shame, fantastic sours, I have a number of large bottles left
