Cask Ale is having a moment in Portland, and we invite you to be a part of the party!
We are Away Days Brewing, a European-inspired brewery in SE Portland, Oregon. We specialise in English Ales and European Lagers, with two rotating cask ales at any one time.
Stop by our Portland brewery and taproom to experience cask-conditioned beer at its best.
New to cask? Cask-conditioned beer, traditionally ale, is a long-standing tradition in English brewing that takes an extra amount of care from the brewer and cellar person. The beer is racked into the cask unpasteurized and unfiltered to further condition. After the beer has fully matured it is served utilizing gravity or a hand pump at a slightly warmer temperature and lower carbonation than typical draft beer. This presentation creates a soft, full-flavored, living expression of a beer that will be unique from cask to cask and even pint to pint.
