Samuel Adams Rebel Cascade

I liked the Rebel Cascade the most compared to the regular Rebel or Rebel Grapefruit. The Rebel line goes against Jim Koch's traditional/usual philosophy on brewing, not a bad thing. Personal ranking:

1) Raw
2) Rouser
3) Cascade

(And oh, how I miss that once and done Imperial Hallertau Pils that could more than easily hold it's own on the bitterness scale against the Rebels.)

 

Have they put out another batch? The initial canned batch was "... a limited release with a 35 day shelf life. IPA lovers can only find it in Boston, Chicago, New York City, Philadelphia and Washington DC" according to BBC's blog.

 

Right on for the info brotha, didnt know it was a East coast release only...damn it lol

 

They actually applied for labeling in Texas back in February, not sure if this was a standard thing they did, or they planned to actually distribute it down here

 

Picked up the 12 pack of rebels for $12.99 (discounted to move off shelf). So far, I've had all but the Grapefruit. The adage, you get what you pay for, best encompasses my feelings on these beers. For the price, they are decent. At the regular price of $18.99, I would not purchase again.

 

Having had all except Cascade im very interested but since I've had them and can get them on tap around here, im not paying that $ for 3 ok beers and a new one

 

They put Raw out to more cities about 1 month or two ago. You can find some cans around, but they will be a bit older than desired.
