Cascade Brewing to release new sour project ‘Encyclopedia Botanica’

Cascade Brewing has a brand new beer to add to their annual ongoing northwest sour series of vintages with Encyclopedia Botanica 2018. The base beer is a sour blond ale aged for up to two years in barrels and with late infusions of elderflowers, orange peel and Cascade's own unique blend of gin botanicals. 500ml champagne bottles and draft kegs of Encyclopedia Botanica 2018 will be available beginning Friday, Oct. 2nd.

Encyclopedia Botanica takes it’s naming inspiration from it’s encyclopedic collection of seeds, berries, spices, flowers, and fruit, this cocktail-inspired sour beer blend delivers a comprehensive compendium of flavors from A to Z (8.7% ABV).

Encyclopedia Botanica can be purchased at the Cascade Brewing Barrel House at 939 SE Belmont St. and The Lodge at Cascade Brewing at 7424 SW Beaverton Hillsdale Hwy. It will also be made available through Cascade's distribution network.
