Australia’s oldest brewery – Cascade Brewery – has brewed a new premium lager, made exclusively with water from Hobart’s kunyani / Mt Wellington.

Along with 100% crisp mountain water, Cascade Origin is brewed with the highestgrade Tasmanian cool-climate hops and locally malted barley.

It is the first major new Cascade beer to be launched on the mainland in more than a decade and will retail for RRP $96 a case.

Cascade celebrated its 200th birthday earlier this year, with Cascade Brewery launching Cascade Origin to toast two centuries of endurance, innovation and the spirit of Tasmania.

Described as ‘Beer at its Peak’, Cascade Origin is a bright, golden lager, with a light citrus hop aroma, rounded malt body, light bitterness and a crisp, refreshing clean finish at 4.5% ABV.

“Cascade Origin has been launched to mark Cascade’s 200th birthday, not just in the Apple Isle but in Sydney and Melbourne too,” said Cascade Brewery’s Head of Manufacturing Brendan Flanagan.

“Cascade Origin celebrates the crisp water of Hobart’s kunyani / Mt Wellington, the finest Tasmanian ingredients and a commitment to quality. It is meticulously crafted and has that little bit extra to make it really special.

“Cascade Origin is made to enjoy with good friends and good food – think kingfish ceviche, lobster rolls and duck bao. The citrus hop and crisp bitterness balance both light and rich flavours. This is a premium beer for special occasions. It may not to be for everyone, but that’s why we’re proud to offer a great range of beers for almost every taste and occasion.”

Cascade Origin will be available at selected venues in Sydney and in cases or six packs at Liquorland, Vintage Cellars and First Choice Liquor across NSW and Victoria. It is also available at selected venues in Hobart and Tasmanian bottle shops.

RRP is $96 for 24pack and $30 for 6 pack.
