Cascade Lakes Brewing Co.

Cascade Lakes Brewing Co.:
Cascade Lakes Brewing Co. Expands into Washington State

04/24/12

Bend, Oregon

Cascade Lakes Brewing Company, today announced its expansion plans into Washington State effective May 1st. The Brewery over the last 12 months has undergone an expansion encompassing the brew house system as well as the facility. A 25-barrel brew house system from JV NW replaced the 17 year old system allowing them to brew 775 gallons per batch up to three batches a day. This produces 25% more product and, in combination with the facility remodel, can support an expansion into Washington State.

“At last, we have the ability to brew more beer, thus it’s a natural time to expand our markets beyond Oregon and Idaho and into our neighbor Washington,” stated Chris Justema, president and partner. “This has been on our radar for years. I moved from Seattle to Bend 12 years ago, so I look forward to going back into a market I know and love. I hear our neighbors to the north are thirsty up there and we are going to do our best to help solve that problem.”
