In 2014 we wanted a way to shine a light on our Brewers in the back. We wanted to showcase the talent and creativity of our Brew Team. We wanted an event that put the brewers and their personalities front and center. The Cask Throwdown event was Born.

This friendly competition brings out the best in our Brew Team as they vie against one another for the title of “Best Cask”. And with winning come the spoils: Getting to raise the Throwdown Trophy, getting their name etched on the Trophy, and in past years getting to brew a one-thousand-litre batch of their winning beer which is exclusively served On-Tap at the Tree Brewing Beer Institute. The variety of Throwdown Cask styles that have been voted “Best Cask” in previous years include: A Smoked Bock, A Barley wine, and a Saison style finished with Champagne yeast.

Overall the Cask Throwdown event tends to attract not only craft beer lovers, but people who really enjoy Tree Brewing products. It allows people to meet and talk with the brewers in a casual setting, to get a feel for why they chose a specific style or ingredient. The Cask Throwdown really feels like an extended “Craft Beer Family” get together.
