Raccoon Lodge

Raccoon Lodge is the brewpub that services Cascade Brewing.

As some of you may remember I've had some not very nice things to say about these guys on some of the after brewfest postings.

I went there this weekend.

The result? Every single beer I had on site was excellent, including those I've previously disliked at brewfests. The food is great, the staff friendly and it's all in all a great establishment I 100% recommend. Yes, including the beer.

I had the opportunity to chat some with Curtis, one of the brewers, about the brewfest vs on site taste diffrences and he couldn't really explain it either. But he did give us a little sneak of some of what they have coming up, and it's definately worth checking out.

I brought home a growler of the Razberry Wheat, before I had this at the Lodge I liked Mcmenamin's Ruby, Ruby WISHES it had the tartness and balence of the Razberry.

I will let you know if time in my fridge affects it, maybe the brews just don't travel well....

But get over there, they have lots of low hop options like the Flemish Sour that you just don't see much of that are worth trying out.
