"If you're a fan of sour, barrel-aged beers—or you're curious about trying some—there's no better place to visit than the brewery that helped launch the entire movement. Cascade's Buckman District Barrel House is bright and cheery, with windowed-garage doors letting in plenty of natural light, tables with barrel bases, and off-white walls. In summer, the picnic tables out front are packed from opening to close. Year round, the place is filled with the unmistakable aroma of flavorful sour beers resting in casks. Complement one of the signature sours with an imported meat-and-cheese platter, or a traditional brewery dish (beer cheese soup, a Reuben, or a Caesar wrap)." - Alexander Frane
