Heaven for the sour beer lover. Apply on their website to tap a rare "live barrel" every Tap It Tuesday. Plan to get soaked in beer. They give you a free glass of the beer and a tshirt. Tons of fun.

This place is a must if you like sours and even if you're not so sure. So many to choose from! Lots of outdoor seating as well, though not dog friendly.

Unless you go in knowing exactly what you want, tasters are where it's at. You can get two 2-oz tasters at a time in order to explore Cascade's bevy of sour options.

Come on Tuesdays at 6:30pm for fresh tapping of fresh cask beer! They serve mostly aged sours here, nothing too funky, using mostly pure lacto strains and local fruits. Delicious. Oh, beware high ABV!

If you like sours, this is the place. Some of the best in the country. Do a taster of the whole menu and definitely split a pretzel.

Outdoor tables on a beautiful summer day with sour beers can't be beat! Honey Ginger Lime, the Vine, and the limited Lemondrop are excellent choices!
Joe MontesDecember 19, 2020
Great outdoor setup for the times of COVID. The tent is spacious and pretty open. There are multiple heating lamps to keep you warm. Treat yourself to a plethora of 2oz pours of beers.

Service was amazing, server recommended a flight picked out for me including sours and their cider. They even are vegan friendly with their food menu (vegan soft pretzels!!)
Dan MillerJune 2, 2015
If you like sour beers, this is the best place on Earth. Work your way through the entire tasting menu--everything is good, but everything in the red ale section is beyond delicious.
CarmelMay 19, 2013
Of the 8 tasters I ordered (ALL very good), my favorites were the Vintage Apricot, Bourbon Honey Ginger Lime, and Chocolate Bourbonic. Highly recommend ordering the Dark and White Chocolates to pair!

The end-all, be-all destination for sour beers. Always tapping something new and delicious. Get a few flights and make an afternoon of it on the sunny patio.
Amir BaharlouMay 30, 2016
The sour beer selection is unmatched. Selection of munchies are pretty yummy too. Note: they don't allow dogs on their patio 😢
BommyJanuary 12, 2015
zomg it's sour beer heaven. If available, definitely try the glueh kriek, warm spiced mulled sour cherry ale.
Anastasia BelozertsevaAugust 2, 2013
Great sour beer brewery. Raspberry wheat tasted too much like raspberries for my taste. However, I would like to put in a word for The Vine, Summer Gose and Figaro. Tasting glasses are only $2.
AndreaFebruary 28, 2015
Take advantage of the live from the barrel beers and events like the Tart Fruit Festival. Bring your wine-loving friends who need some encouragement to drink beer.
Sofia FigueroaJune 17, 2016
Only 2 tastings at a time but worth it, tried 16 sour ales in 1 sitting. Make to get a friendly server that will walk you thru the menu.
Jeremie LandersOctober 7, 2011
Ignore the food-bash tip; the food (which always ROTATES) is very high quality and matches the sours perfectly well. I strongly suggest getting ever-changing local charcuterie plate at least! :)
Chris KelnerOctober 1, 2015
Sour beer heaven. Food and snacks are really good too. Friendly wait staff.

Try the Vine, if it's on tap. Absolutely amazing. It's a blend of barrel aged Blondes that have been refermented with fresh pressed juice of white wine grapes. Phenomenal.

Oblique coffee blond tastes like instant Folgers with powdered creamer in a styrofoam cup. In the best possible way. This is one of the best beers I have tasted in months.
@mik3caprioSeptember 13, 2014
Getting several small beer samplers is your best bet; try many flavors, and the beer is intense so it's enough just to taste
Melissa TsangJuly 11, 2016
Do every single taster! Love that it's all sour beer (the only type of beer I like). Favorite was Noyaux.
Noah WeissSeptember 7, 2020
Best selection of sours, with nice outdoor seating
Pam ☕️ ONovember 30, 2016
Tasters are a good way to try 2oz sips of a little bit of everything.
Amy HollandsDecember 21, 2012
Service was GREAT. Cheese plate was DIVINE! I recommend at least TRYING their sour beer line. Really tasty. Layers of flavor. Reminds me if a cider.
Zach CroweJune 17, 2013
Make sure you get some food while you are sampling. Even if it is just a simple appetizer. You'll be thankful later if you are sampling more than 5 of the sours.
Jennifer YuAugust 18, 2019
Yeah y’all weren’t kidding... honey ginger lime is the truth. Dessert bloom was off the menu and my favorite.

Always my first stop after landing at PDX, and always new beers to try. I recommend Sang Royal, Apricot, Bourbonic Plague, and Blackberry.
Rick LambertJuly 19, 2019
Fantastic venue. Great selection of outstanding sour beers. Extensive list of bottles to go.
Sara JoyJune 29, 2017
Specialty brewery with huge selection of Sour Beers. If you like sour beer, def worth checking out!
Jenn HutchinsonJuly 3, 2013
I don't like beer, never did, never thought I would. However, I actually enjoy the sour beer (specifically honey ginger lime) so that says something about how awesome they are!
Jake CDecember 28, 2013
As a sour beer enthusiast I always make an incredible effort to visit Cascade. The people who work here are the worst. They create an unpleasant environment whenever I visit. Beer is almost worth it.
Eric GeorgeJuly 19, 2019
Sours and sours and sours. They are second to none. Great outdoor space for you to enjoy them.

Wow! I love the new Vin Diesel (vintage barrel aged diesel - stout brewed with black strap molasses & dark Belgian candy sugar then aged in Heaven Hills Bourbon & Pinot Noir barrels)
JessicaSeptember 17, 2015
On a nice day, get there early and snag a table outside with a sampler!
Aya SatoNovember 19, 2014
The apricot was one of my favorites as well as Vine.
Roger MaJanuary 13, 2016
Grab some of their vintage bottles that you won't be able to find back home! #soursfordays
Eliot ♥ PhillipsSeptember 16, 2012
The Honey Ginger Lime is one of the best sours around!
Bryan LFebruary 14, 2016
Spectacular beers. Good food. Must visit on any Portland brewery tour.
Emily CharlestonMay 4, 2014
The raspberry sour beer is where it's at. Really good quesadilla and pulled pork sandwich!
Adena BrenowitzSeptember 7, 2018
Delicious sour beer menu! Lot's of different and unique options to try.
Mark HSeptember 12, 2014
Biggest and most varied sour selection you'll ever see. Best sours in the Northwest!
PJ WascherNovember 21, 2016
My favorite brewery in Portland. So many good sour beers.
Zack SheppardNovember 15, 2015
Go for the live barrels, beer coming straight from the barrel to your glass.
Adam SimpsonAugust 13, 2013
Order the Caesar salad w/artisan bread as a food filler/booze sponge with your beer. It'll stuff your stomach and satisfy your pallet. Pair w/a pint of Cascade IPA.
Jeremie LandersSeptember 25, 2011
The beers aren't all sours... But they are the best beers on tap. ;) Make sure to try The Vine and Noyeaux. Magnifique!

Here's a secret: you can get pints of beer from Cascade Brewing here. No trips to the west side necessary.
Jenny L.December 10, 2015
Bring a friend and sample one of everything on the menu!! Love sour beers
Jen FoxJune 19, 2013
AWESOME sour beer selection. Best of any brewery I've been to (which is over 100!!).
Salamander SlimSeptember 13, 2017
If you can, go to the raccoon lodge. The food is not good at either place, but better there. The beer is great, overpriced, but great. $16 pints is criminal to charge for time and bacteria.
