Cascadian Dark Ale

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.

I'm aware of this.

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;

An article on some CDA's from the U.S.

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!
