Cascade Pale Ale

The Cascade PA is not actually a Pale Ale! It's a Lager, a it's brewed with the same yeast as the Premium Lager + Premium Light. That's from the horse's mouth on the Cascade Brewery Tour

Thanks, Nick.

There's also talk that the stout, too, is brewed with a lager yeast.

Can you or anyone shed any light on that?

Yep, sounds true to me! Was told they only use one house yeast!

Isn't Cascade one of the oldest breweries in Australia? How would they have maintained lager temperatures before the advent of refrigeration?

Cascade is in Tasmania; enough said really

Actually, I seem to recall reading that this Pale Ale is a 'revival' of one of their original beers, a Pale Ale made with an actual Ale yeast many years ago.

In all seriousness, best price I ever got was a year ago - $15 for half a carton. No joke.

These days, more than $37 is paying too much. Most of the time you can snag an extra longie for that price. Couple of months ago I got Carton of CPA with a 6-pack of Dark Ale for $40.

$37.00??? Is that for the long necks with the thick glass and roll tops?

Anytime i'm after a box it's always high 40's for the pale ale and mid fifties for the sparkling ale.

Nah, it's for 24 stubbies, but they throw in a longneck.

A carton of the thick longnecks is a bit more - normally about $40.

You get more value from stubbies but if you need the bottles it's worth paying a bit more I guess.
