Cascade Premium lager: one of the best beers down under?

A beer gift basket shows you care! Click to see more the UNOB beer gifts HQ.

Cascade Premium lager is one of the best beers in Australia, and one of my top 10 in the world. I'm biased as I was married across the road from the brewery in Hobart, Tasmania, at original owner's house that is now a historic gardens rented out for weddings and events.

I would kill to get it here in the US, and even spoke at length to the person in charge of international imports at Carlton United Breweries in Melbourne about it... turns out their flagship beer Fosters (ugh!!!) is the only brand of theirs that American distributors are interested in, and it's made in Canada by Molsen!!!

Cascade Premium lager is a full bodied beer, but not yeasty-hoppy like American boutique beers or Sam Adams... mighty on draft, and their other versions are very nice too.

If you go to Australia, make this one a must. Don't like the new label as good as the original, but the contents are still great.

NICE!
by: Mike(Calif)

Drank mostly VB while down in Australia a couple of months ago. Went to Hobart, stopped at a pub, ordered a Cascade on draft and preceded to knock back 3 more after that within the hour. Very, very, very (and let me emphasize, very) good beer. Would love to have it here in the US.

One of my favorite beers, clean, crisp and refreshing.
Been to the brewery in Hobart and sampled some seasonal brews in the tasting garden area.
Pity they've gone to 330ml stubbies over the old 375ml.

This Beverage is THE BEST
by: Anonymous

Managed to find this beer at a local beer store in Loughborough, UK while I studied for my degree in 1989. This Beer is way up the list of Fine Beers I have ever tasted from all over the globe & I've tasted a lot....

Visited the Brewery in '94 & loved the tastings......If you get a chance Tasmania deserves your attention.....hopefully with a bit of help, we can generate enough support to get this imported...I live in Michigan

Cascade is Great!

Visited the brewery last January - My wife and I stopped at Cascade Brewery for our first beer after getting engaged on Mt Wellington above the brewery.
Having tried beers all acroos Australia, the Cascade beers seemed the most balanced and flavorful - If I could find it in Pennsylvania I would have it all the time...
