Cascade Bourbonic

I assume $30 a bottle...

 

Wanna bet? I'm guessing it's like 32$

 

do i hear $40?

 

The new Cascade sales dynamic: only non-Oregon residents buy their limited release beers.

 

True

 

Guilty as charged

 

Clearly you jest, this beer was BOURBON aged, 50$

 

As crazy as $30/750ml may sound, that Manhattan NW was pretty fucking killer IMO, and no one complains about $12-$15/375ml for RR sours.

 

While i haven't had rr sours yet, I'm sure they outclass cascade sours. Don't get me wrong the one i tried was very good. World class though? nah. Definitely not worth 28 a bottle!

 

While i haven't read many of your posts yet, I'm sure they are all baseless comparisons.

 

Respect Beer? Also respect beer advocates? Hmm. No that is not what this site is about whatsoever .
Not cool!

 

I think the irony intended in the post by cavemanlawyer went right over the head of the individual to whom it was directed.

 

In reviewing Bottleworks XIV last night I said "I'd have preferred 375s @ $14." Especially with a big, complex beer like that, I'd rather not have to commit to downing a $30, 750mL bottle in one sitting.

 

The Manhattan was killer, I just think that the price is absurd for what it is. I don't want to chime in for everyone in the area, but it seems the general consensus is that Lacto gets tiring when it is the main profile of every sour beer that you make. Being a mile from the brewery I feel I am spoiled. I find that many of the better beers they make are reasonably priced non-sour beers. The Oblique Coffee collaborations are delicious as well as the Fig Porter they brewed. I don't want to say that they won't be getting my business, but for the price they are charging for a bottle of their beers I can get numerous other offerings of equal or greater quality from around the area.

 

I actually agree with you on the Lacto getting tiring. In fact, until last week, I was on about a year hiatus from Cascade (spending most of that time talking shit about them on BA ). Ride my bike or walk past every day, however I have a REALLY hard time dropping $8/8oz when I can go get a pint of something at Bailey's, Belmont Station, etc. for half that price and twice the volume. But everything about the Manhattan NW did it for me. Maybe just more my style than their typical offerings. It was the first time I considered buying a Cascade bottle in a long time (full disclosure: I didn't).

 

dont forget diesel

 

since cascade sucks so much i'll gladly take your shitty bottles of noyaux and other gross lacto bomb sours off your hands and trade you beers that suck slightly less
