In celebration of all that is dark and hoppy (without too much roast, of course), Belmont Station officially kicks off their Cascadian Dark Festival at their Bier Cafe.

WED JANUARY 20 – SAT JANUARY 23 3-11PM CASCADIAN DARK FESTIVAL

We’re turning over the taps in our Biercafe to Cascadian Dark Ales, (dark ales with IPA hopping levels). Watch our website for daily tappings. On tap today: Widmer W’10, Hopworks Secession, Laughing Dog Dogzilla, Cascade Dark Day, Lompoc Black Tiger, 21st Amendment Back in Black, & Pelican Bad Santa.

Still to come: Laurelwood Arctic Apocalypse, Deschutes Intergalactic Black IPA and Bourbon Barrel Black IPA, Barley Brown’s Turmoil, Big Time Dark Days, Elliott Bay Belgian Black, Rogue Mogul, 3 Creeks IBA, Lucky Lab, Walking Man Big Black Homo, and Southern Tier Iniquity.

Folks like sustainably-minded homebrewer Abram Goldman-Armstrong are lobbying for CDAs to be officially recognized by the American Homebrewers Association and the Beer Judge Certification Program. To Goldman-Armstrong and other proponents of the beer of Pacific Northwest origin, the term “Black IPA” simply will not suffice.

To call Goldman-Armstrong a beer aficionado would be an understatement.
