Message pellegjr beers 396 º places 16 º 22:26 Fri 4/4/2014 Cascade. So foundational to the evolution of craft beer, and yet so frequently secondary to designer varieties in this day and age.
Message Ibrew2or3 P beers 10533 º places 353 º 22:41 Fri 4/4/2014 yep. I used to grow Cascade (and chinook) while living in the Puget Sound area and homebrewed all Cascade IPAs with those hops. Columbus and EKG underrated? Love ’em.
Message SamGamgee P beers 2452 º places 182 º 23:45 Fri 4/4/2014 Ha. Cascade is one of the original designer hops, if such a thing exists. I would vote magnum, the unsung alpha champion these days. A bittering workhorse that can go in anything.
Message keanex beers 1802 º places 65 º 00:03 Sat 4/5/2014 I’m so over Cascade. I definitely see Magnum being underrated. It’s a versatile neutral bittering hop with high AA content that allows for the flavor to be fully developed with late additions without missing on bitterness.

Message GT P beers 10001 º places 672 º 00:04 Sat 4/5/2014 Saaz and Hallertau seem to be missing in my life
Message WheatKing beers 1351 º 03:30 Sat 4/5/2014 Did you just call Cascade underrated?
Message ContemplateBeer beers 2092 º places 154 º 04:46 Sat 4/5/2014 Glacier?
Message Danko 05:07 Sat 4/5/2014 EKG and Magnum.

Message rennat42 P beers 5357 º places 205 º 07:35 Sat 4/5/2014 Apollo or Galaxy. As a personal preference, Citra will always be the best.
