PORTLAND, Ore. – In Dec. 1998, Art Larrance and Ron Gansberg opened the doors to Cascade Brewing on the bottom floor of the Raccoon Lodge & Brew Pub. This December, they are inviting fans to join them in raising a glass in celebration of the brewery’s 18th anniversary.

Cascade’s 18th Anniversary Party will take place Dec. 6 through Dec. 11 during regular business hours at both the Cascade Brewing Barrel House  939 SE Belmont St., and the Raccoon Lodge & Brew Pub  7424 SW Beaverton Hillsday Hwy. There is no cover charge.

The anniversary lineup will kick off with a special Tap It Tuesday live barrel tapping at the Barrel House on Dec. 6 at 6pm, where the brewery will release the 2015 blend of its rare Pater project. Released once every two to three years, Pater is a cuvée of sour reds, imperial reds, blonds, triples and quads aged up to three years with Bing and sour pie cherries; it features some of the oldest and rarest barrels from Cascade’s sour cellar.

The event will feature a number of rare vintage draft beers on tap during the week, including The Bourbonic Plague 2009, Kriek 2009, Sang Royal 2009, Vlad the Imp Aler 2009 and Apricot 2010 (additional vintage beers may be brought out as tap space allows). These vintage beers will only be available in four-ounce pours, and prices will vary depending on the product.

There will also be a number of 750ml bottled products for sale (at the Barrel House only) beginning Dec. 6 at Noon, including, but not limited to, Apricot 2012 & 2013; Bourbonic Plague 2011; Cerise Noveau 2013; Elderberry 2013; Figaro 2012 & 2013; Foudre #1 2013; Kriek 2008, 2012, 2013, & 2014; Manhattan 2013; Noyaux 2013; Sang Noir 2012; Sang Royal 2012; Strawberry 2013 & 2014; Tangerine Dream 2011; The Vine 2012 & 2013; and Vlad the Imp Aler 2011.

Both locations will also pour Cascade's classic winter seasonal, the non-sour Defroster.
