Background

Developed by Oregon State University and released by the USDA in the early 1970s, Cascade is a cross between Fuggle and a Russian Serebrianka-derived male. It rose to prominence with Sierra Nevada Pale Ale and remains one of the most iconic American hop varieties. The Cryo Hops version, created through Yakima Chiefs LupuLN2 process, allows brewers to highlight Cascades grapefruit and floral qualities in an ultra-refined format that enhances aroma without excessive green matter.
