The annual Portland Cask Port program is in full swing again. Our good friends at Away Days have teamed up again with a handful of business and breweries to bring Cask Ales to the forefront. You can grab your very own Cask Port at any participating business and collect a stamp at each one when you order a pint of cask beer. At the very end, we will host a closing party where you can claim some awesome prizes! Get those Cask Ports ready and enjoy the journey to some amazing cask beers at some truly legendary places!

WHAT IS CASK BEER?

"Unfiltered beer that is racked into casks, carbonated, sealed and then undergoes a slight final fermentation in the cask. Often finings (clarifying agents) will be added to help the beer drop bright—when yeast cells naturally flocculate (clump) and settle at the bottom of a vessel.

The net result is a beer that has a much gentler level of carbonation, a rounder mouthfeel, and since it is unfiltered, usually shows a slightly more complex flavor and aromatic profile. It is often slightly cloudy, and is best served at cellar temperature (around 55°F). It’s considered “live” beer since it is unfiltered and has live yeast in the cask (which is how we get the final fermentation and carbonation)."
