Cascade Brewing 5 Barrel Thread:
a one-only blend of five amazing beers: Bourbon Barrel Aged Quad, White Port Aged Raspberry, Barrel Aged Triple, Apricot and Sour Pie Kriek. The blend may sound a bit odd, but brewers Ron Gansberg and Curtis Bain say you’ll be surprised by the “lift and color found in the final result.”
Barley Brown Fresh Hop IPA Roadside: Employing country roadside hops from Baker City, Oregon, this beer is a kind one of kind. Brewer Shawn Kelso says “It’s pretty hoppy and at 7.25% ABV you may want to just call it an I.P.A. It was brewed with fresh hand picked unknown hops that grow wild on the side of a road here in Baker City. I put 36 pounds in a 3bbl batch. It’s pretty damn tasty!”
Caldera Rose Pedal Imperial Golden Ale: Made with 11 pounds of rose pedals and two liters of Bulgarian rose water, brewer Jim Mills says “this beers tastes like a party at Grandma’s house.” Baileys taproom exclusive.

Flood waters that coursed through Atlanta area neighborhoods this week have finally drained back into nearby rivers and creeks. But hundreds of families are still coping with the environmental disaster inside their homes, which are covered with layers of mud and mold.
Weather forecasters predict more rain this weekend.
That’s the last thing most residents want to hear, but at one Atlanta company, a brewery, workers will welcome the rain. Instead of cursing more rain, they will consider it heaven sent — both an economic and environmental blessing.
In just a week, the rain has filled the tanks at 5 Seasons Brewery and restaurant. They’ve collected 2,500 gallons of water which…if my math is right…will make roughly 20,000 pints of beer!
So help save the planet, one pint at a time.
New Yorkers have excellent choices for beer. But if you are beer traveling (and if you are, e-mail me, I can help). Here are two places, one old and one new that you need to go to….

I think it’s so cool how tightknit the beer community is. We are an opinionated bunch but when it comes to making beer, we usually see eye to eye.

One of my favorite beer websites is Liquid Solutions based in Oregon and for the 2009 FredFest they had an auction of rare and famous beers for charity. Now, they occasionally have auctions throughout the year. How about $110.00 for three years of 3 Floyds Dark Lord? Check out this site.
Thanks to my beer source in the Illinois, here is a review of a great Wisconsin beer…
