Cascadian Dark Ale

Is it Black India Pale Ale, India Black Ale, or Cascadian Dark Ale? 

In Corpus we respect the hops grown in the Pacific North West region of America known as Cascadia, and respectfully label the style Cascadian Dark Ale.  So, we at B&J's Pizza and Hand Crafted Texas Ales decided to brew a Cascadian Dark Ale. This beer has roasty complexity and a black body brought to it by a dehusked black malt known as Carafa II.  This roasty backbone is put in check by its Cascadian roots.  Chinook, Magnum, Centennial, Cascade, and Citra hops were all liberally added to this brew giving it a distinctive pine and citrus flavor and smell. So screw the oxymoron known as Black India Pale Ale and the spineless India Black Ale, and join us Friday March 2nd and raise a pint of Cascadian Dark Ale, Cheers to the Pacific North West!!! 

The Cascadian region consists of Northern California, Oregon, Washington and the Southern tip of British Columbia.  This region contains some of the best places in the world to grow hops, including the Yakima and Willamette Valleys.  Say it Will-Am-Ette Dammit!!

Although it has been discussed in the early hours of the morning in many taverns throughout the region, the odds of Cascadia actually seceding from the states and also grabbing a portion of a Canadian province is unlikely, but they sure do grow great Hops!

See you at B & J's
