Point taken, but still. Is a super hopped up dark ale made with a hop variety from somewhere not in the north-west a different style than one made with cascade!? Just seems ridiculous to me.
And I hope Cascadia doesn't gain independance. The Dems need their support.

There are plenty of recognized style designations that hinge on the hop variety(s) used. This certainly doesn't set a precedent.JesseM wrote:Point taken, but still.

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

Just got a couple of bottle of the VCBW (Vancouver Craft Beer Week) CDA Collaboration Ale. 6.5%, very solid. Here's some coverage of the opening night event;

I don't always piss in a bottle but when I do...I prefer to call it Dos Equis.

By the way, I really like the Spinnakers CDA on cask at Too Hop to handle. I need to plan a trip back to Spinnakers!
