CASCADIUS

THE LEGEND

The Cascade Range runs like a spine of fire from British Columbia to Northern California. Beneath its snow-capped peaks, magma chambers pulse with heat that has shaped the Pacific Northwest for millions of years. Mount Hood, Mount St. Helens, Mount Rainier, these are not ancient, sleeping mountains. They are active volcanoes, and the land remembers.

Indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest built rich mythologies around the Cascades. The Klickitat people tell of the Bridge of the Gods, a natural land bridge that once spanned the Columbia River Gorge until the mountain spirits Wy'east (Mount Hood) and Pahto (Mount Adams) fought over the beautiful Loowit (Mount St. Helens), destroying the bridge and reshaping the land. The mountains are not scenery. They are characters in an ongoing story.

Cascadius Latinizes the name, giving it the weight of something carved in stone. A Cold IPA at 6.9% ABV, it is cold-fermented and crystalline, bridging the precision of lager technique with the ambition of an IPA. Mango, pineapple, and citrus drift through summer herbs in a beer as clear and sharp as glacier meltwater.

Brewed in the shadow of the Cascades, this beer carries the range's dual nature: surface beauty underlaid by immense, barely contained power.
