There are two new beers to watch for from Cascade Lakes Brewing: Resurgence Gin Barrel-Aged Ale and Street Dog IPA. Resurgence is a limited-edition specialty, in which the company’s Revival IPA was aged in gin barrels from Gompers Distillery for seven month. Street Dog IPA benefits the nonprofit Street Dog Hero, and a release party at the Lodge pub in Bend takes place for it on Tuesday, August 16.

Press release featuring Resurgence:

Available in an extremely limited release on draft and 500 ml bottles, Resurgence was aged for seven months in gin barrels from Gompers Distillery for a more intense version of the 6.2% seasonal Revival IPA

A new rising often comes from an innovative twist on a familiar favorite, and the extremely limited release of the Resurgence Gin-Barrel Aged Ale from Cascade Lakes Brewing Co. has the power to do just that.

From the imagination of Director of Brewing Operations Ryan Schmiege and his team comes a fresh rising of Revival IPA — a light and crushable IPA that has long been a favorite among Cascade Lakes’ seasonal lineup. For Resurgence Ale, Cascade Lakes brewers aged Revival IPA for seven months in gin barrels from Gompers Distillery in Redmond. The result is a small batch ale that will surely stoke a surge of appreciation for the original in anyone lucky enough to get their hands on it.

“To brew Resurgence Ale, we took an IPA noted for its subtle bitterness, with notes of mangosteen and vanilla, and aged it in gin barrels, which gives the IPA a hoppy, botanical, and more intense character than Revival,” said Ryan Schmiege, Cascade Lakes Brewing Co. director of brewing operations. “We couldn’t be happier with the result. Not only is Resurgence a complex and unique creation, but the undertaking helped give us a renewed appreciation for the character of the original.”

Resurgence Ale is available on tap and in 500ml bottles at Cascade Lakes’ two Central Oregon pub locations, and in 500ml bottles at grocery stores throughout Oregon. But brewed in such limited quantities, the window opportunity to try Resurgence will be narrow.

And here’s the press release about Street Dog IPA:

Street Dog IPA benefits Bend-based nonprofit Street Dog Hero, which serves dogs in need around the world

Cascade Lakes Brewing Co. will host a special release of its Street Dog IPA, an extremely limited-edition session IPA brewed purposefully with no bite — just like a good dog. Street Dog IPA will be released on draft only on Tuesday, Aug. 16, at Cascade Lakes’ Bend Brewpub.

Street Dog IPA is the result of a collaboration between Cascade Lakes and Street Dog Hero, a Bend-based nonprofit that rescues dogs from around the world and finds loving homes for them in Bend and beyond. The release party will run from 4-8 p.m. $1 from every pint of Street Dog IPA, as well as a portion of dog-related merchandise sales and raffle tickets from the event will directly benefit Street Dog Hero.

“Cascade Lakes Street Dog IPA is a direct result of our commitment to building strong bonds with our community by identifying causes that we are passionate about and making great beers to support them,” said Andy Rhine, general manager of Cascade Lakes Brewing Co. “Street Dog IPA is a session IPA brewed with a smooth malt bill, and a bright, beautiful aroma. It’s so gentle, it’ll make you think of petting puppy ears, like the dogs rescued and rehomed by Street Dog Hero.”

“We are beyond thrilled to collaborate with Cascade Lakes Brewery on Street Dog IPA,” Diana Fischetti, executive director of Street Dog Hero. “In one of the dog-friendliest towns in America, it’s partnerships with local businesses like this that help us do our work: Finding our rescue dogs loving ‘Furever’ Families and supporting our Central Oregon community with low- and no-cost spay, neuter, and wellness services.”
