NW Peaks Cascadia Shale Ale NW Peaks Brewery (Northwest Peaks) Seattle, Washington
Beer style: IPA - Black / Brown / Cascadian Dark Ref: ratebeer.com May2024
Common descriptors are Cascadian Dark Ales (or American-style India Dark Ales) carry the hop flavors of the Pacific Northwest, a hint of roast and/or chocolate. We brewed Cascadia Shale Ale using chocolate malt for flavor and black malt for some extra color. We added generous amounts of NW style hops throughout the boil creating a nice piney and citrus hop character complementing the creamy chocolate notes. In honor of the Sounders foundation in 1974 this brew comes in measuring at 74 IBU, and of course bears the name and style that makes it uniquely a Seattle Sounders inspired beer. |
