Harvest Cascade Carton Brewing Company

Each autumn’s hop harvest presents an opportunity to assess yearly variation and flavors.Some are broad across all the plants in a region, while others are specific to unique clones and certain farms. Every year, we choose two different varieties to add to our Harvest Ale. The first is received straight off the bines and added wet in the whirlpool. The second is a round of whole cone dry hopping. Our base is a simple pale ale with a touch of rye spiciness to be seasonally appropriate, but with enough heft to support the selected hops while otherwise existing to flaunt the yearly crop nuances. Harvest 2020 was wet hopped with Cascade from Hopsteiner’s Golden Gate Hop Ranch and dry hopped with Idaho 7 from Crosby Farms. Drink Harvest because it is a fresh taste of things to come.
