CASCAZILLA
Red India Pale Ale
The name CascaZilla (Cas-kuh-zil-uh) is a play on both the name of the gorge in Ithaca called Cascadilla and the monster amount of Cascade Hops we use while dry hopping during the brewing process.

CascaZilla gets its distinctive red color from a subtle addition of black malt, which also lends a hearty body and slight sweetness.
