As winter descends on the Northwest, Cascade Lakes Brewing Co. has announced the launch of its seasonal Slippery Slope Winter Ale. The full-bodied winter ale uses an intricate blend of malts with a generous Mosaic and Cascade dry hop to produce a well-balanced, rich seasonal ale with hints of roast and chocolate.

“Winters can be long in the Northwest, and whether you fully embrace the season or simply endure it, we all need a good companion like Slippery Slope to help get us through the dark, cold, snowy, and rainy months,” said Andy Rhine, General Manager of Cascade Lakes Brewing Co. “We’re confident that the combination of Slippery Slope’s five-malt blend, Mosaic and Cascade dry hops, and roast and chocolate notes will help anyone celebrate — or tolerate — the months ahead.”

For those unable to enjoy a pint at one of Cascade Lakes’ Central Oregon pub locations where it is already on draught and in cans, Slippery Slope is now available in six-pack 12 oz. cans at Oregon, Washington, Montana, and Idaho grocery stores, and at select PNW bars and restaurants.
