Cascade Brewing Barrel House
939 SE Belmont St
Portland

Joshua M. Bernstein will celebrate his new book “Brewed Awakening: Behind the Beers and Brewers Leading the World’s Craft Brewing Revolution” at the Cascade Brewing Barrel House’s weekly Tap It Tuesday event on Tuesday, November 15 at 6 pm. The Cascade Brewing Barrel House is located at 939 SE Belmont St.
Josh will start the evening as the guest tapper at Tap It Tuesday, a weekly event at which a tap is driven into a live barrel of aging sour beer. He may be an expert on beer, but how good is he at tapping a barrel? According to Josh, “I’ll make sure to bring my poncho,” referencing the likelihood of what is known at Cascade as a “sour shower.” Josh will then reveal some stories and insights about the World’s Craft Brewing Revolution, while signing copies of the book (which retails for $24.95).

Rare Fruit Taplist:
Oakshire: Gin Barrel Aged Blackberry imperial Stout
Our Imperial Overcast Espresso Stout was aged with for two months in an Old Tom Gin Barrel from Oregon’s Ransom Spirits. Oregon grown blackberries were added giving the finished beer hints of Gin botanicals and a mild blackberry fruitiness which balances the sweet chocolate and roast flavors from the beer. 9.5%

Upright: Gin Barrel-Aged Four with Strawberries
Upright’s flagship wheat beer aged with Oregon strawberry puree in a Ransom Distillery Old Tom Gin barrel. The otherwise straightforward brew picks up a mix of the fruit character and the unique botanical notes that only come from the one of a kind local gin casks. 5%

Hopworks: Chili infused Survival Seven Grain Stout
Hopworks Head Brewer Ben Love added a unique blend of chili peppers to 3 small kegs of their Survival Seven Grain Stout. Each keg picked up its own flavors off the different peppers isolated.

Lompoc: Cherry Fechter:
Our Fools Golden fermented in a Maryhill Vineyard Cabernet Franc barrel with 35 pounds of sour cherries. It is clean crisp with a bright pink color and a slight sourness in the finish.

Widmer: 2009 Cherry Oak Doppelbock
Cherry Oak Doppelbock is a rich ale, cold-fermented with dark sweet and red tart cherries, then conditioned on new, heavily toasted American oak. The result is a dark lustrous brew with up-front malty sweetness and cherry fruit notes completed by caramel, dark chocolate, and toasted oak undertones. The complex flavor profile balances the impressive 9% ABV and 40 IBUs.

Coalition: Wheat from the Tree
An American style wheat aged 2 months in a St. Josef’s chardonnay barrel, this beer has light notes of bartlett pears and wine grape, with a sweet and tangy finish of fresh mandarin and tangelo. Starting at 4.4% abv, this beer spontaneously fermented to ~5.2% with the addition of 60 lbs of fresh fruit.

Block 15: 2010 La Ferme’ de Demons (the Demon’s Farm)
Black farmhouse ale brewed with Belgian Pilsner, French Wheat, Candi Sugar, roast malt and farmhouse yeast. Aged for over 8 months in three barrel types; Pinot Noir, Oregon Oak, and Bourbon with Brettanomyces. After barrel aging and blending, this dark ruby black ale is further matured with a touch of Oregon Tart Cherry. 8.75%alc/vol 31 IBU’s.

LOLA/Lucky Lab: Cherry Kolsch
This brew is a first for the Ladies of Lagers and Ales (LOLA) crew with no less than a dozen women breaking a sweat on a sunny day in April at the Lucky Labrador Beer Hall on NW Quimby. Under the watchful eye of Lab Brewdog Ben Flerchinger, this beer was originally brewed with Golden Promise and flavored with Munich, Wheat & Honey malt. Then CTZ hops were added for bitterness and Fuggles for aromatics. A Kölsch yeast was used to give it a bready, lemony, and mildly dank character.

Cherry LOLA is the side project of the LOLA Kolsch. Five gallons of LOLA Kolsch were kegged off and conditioned with black cherry juice for a delightfully sweet and mildly tart flavor.

Cascade: Apricot
Our Apricot has the intense aroma of Goldrich and Rival apricots, slow-ripened before being introduced to the beer. Based on a Belgian Tripel, this beer went through 16 months lactic fermentation and aging in French oak wine barrels, then rested on the fruit for four months before finishing. 8.5% ABV

Cascade: Kriek
Our Kriek spends over six months in lactic fermentation and aging in oak barrels. This NW style sour red ale is fermented for eight months with fresh whole Bing and sour pie cherries. 7.3% ABV

Double Mountain: Devil’s Kriek
It is with great pleasure that we brew Devil’s Kriek once a year at cherry harvest, and let it develop its intensity for a full twelve months, until it’s time to do it again. This year’s batch is intensely dark and fruity, thanks to over 70 lbs. per barrel of Bings (twice what we used last year) from Matt’s orchard in Odell. The light sourness comes not from sour cherries, but from Brettanomyces “wild yeast”, which slowly add the tang and a host of other funky flavors. A brown ale base provides a tasty counterpart to the fruit. 8.3% ABV

Breakside: Brewer’s Bramble
Inspired by the classic bramble cocktail, this beer was aged in an Old Tom Gin barrel with blackberries, lemon peel, and juniper berry.

Breakside: Whiskey Ginger
This beer finds its origins in a cocktail called Six Lengths Ahead, which was on the original drink menu at Portland’s cocktail hotspot Beaker and Flask. This beer also aged in a Whippersnapper barrel and has blueberries, fresh ginger, lime peel, and a touch of grenadine.
