Street Dog IPA Benefits Bend-Based Nonprofit Street Dog Hero, Which Serves Dogs in Need Around the World
Cascade Lakes Brewing Co. will host a special release of its Street Dog IPA, an extremely limited-edition session IPA brewed purposefully with no bite — just like a good dog. Street Dog IPA will be released on draft only on Tuesday, August 16, at Cascade Lakes’ Bend Brewpub.
Street Dog IPA is the result of a collaboration between Cascade Lakes and Street Dog Hero, a Bend-based nonprofit that rescues dogs from around the world and finds loving homes for them in Bend and beyond. The release party will run from 4-8pm. $1 from every pint of Street Dog IPA, as well as a portion of dog-related merchandise sales and raffle tickets from the event will directly benefit Street Dog Hero.
“Cascade Lakes Street Dog IPA is a direct result of our commitment to building strong bonds with our community by identifying causes that we are passionate about and making great beers to support them,” said Andy Rhine, general manager of Cascade Lakes Brewing Co. “Street Dog IPA is a session IPA brewed with a smooth malt bill, and a bright, beautiful aroma. It’s so gentle, it’ll make you think of petting puppy ears, like the dogs rescued and rehomed by Street Dog Hero.”
“We are beyond thrilled to collaborate with Cascade Lakes Brewery on Street Dog IPA,” Diana Fischetti, executive director of Street Dog Hero. “In one of the dog-friendliest towns in America, it’s partnerships with local businesses like this that help us do our work: Finding our rescue dogs loving ‘Furever’ Families and supporting our Central Oregon community with low- and no-cost spay, neuter and wellness services.”
