Cascade Brewing, a pioneer in the sour ale movement that grew to prominence in the late 2000s, has ceased operations less than a month after its founder, Art Larrance, died at age 80. A message on the brewery’s website and Instagram page said the closure is temporary, but Alissa Larrance, the founder’s daughter, said she was delivering final paychecks to the staff on Tuesday. Two years ago, Cascade issued an announcement that it had been sold to a group that included the owners of FlyBoy Brewery of Tigard. That deal, however, was apparently never concluded, Alissa Larrance told The Oregonian on Monday. Cascade Brewing was founded in 1998 in Southwest Portland along with the Raccoon Lodge & Brewpub.
