From Saint Arnold:
To celebrate brewing our Amber Ale for 20 years, we are releasing three small Amber Ale batches, each dryhopped with a different hop variety (regular Amber Ale is not dryhopped). Last month, we released the first beer of the series, which was dryhopped with Liberty.
The second release – done with Cascade hops – takes us back to our roots. In our earlier days, we wanted to revive the old tradition of cask conditioned ales, and our casks of Amber Ale were dryhopped with Cascade. At the time, this was one of the only cask ales you could find in Texas.
Cascade is the bittering hop in every batch of Amber Ale, but is known for being a versatile hop. It originated in the Pacific Northwest and has very deep roots in American craft brewing. When used as a dry hop, it contributes a spicy citrus aroma more commonly associated with American Pale Ales. This aroma strikes a pleasant balance with the caramel maltiness and light fruity flavors Amber Ale is known for.
You can find Amber Ale Dryhopped with Cascade in our 22 oz bomber bottles.
