Fresh-Hopped Fest
Fresh-hopped beers don't come around often, so our advice is to taste as many as you can, while you can. What's so special about these once-a-year wonders? Think of a piney forest on a dewy morning. Imagine citrus tart, but not sour. Conjure the fresh herbs of summer. A whisper of floral notes, and you're halfway to imagining a fresh-hopped beer.
And when we say fresh, we mean it: brewers add these hops to waiting beers within hours of picking, and each variety adds aroma and flavor all its own. Mosaic, Cascade, Strata, Centennial, Sabra - the Northwest is a mecca of hop-growing, so they're all within reach of our breweries, and you'll find them all at this brewfest, including some of our favorites reimagined with fresh hops: Hammerhead Ale, Sunflower IPA and Ghost Rabbit Pilsner. See the full list of beers below.
Hammerhead
Fresh Hop Ale
The
Hammerhead you know and love - but brewed with fresh hops! 16-oz cans will be
around for a limited time, and we'll have some available for sale to go at
Fresh-Hopped Fest. Plus, cans will be available at other locations. The only
way to find one is to check the can: You'll find "FRESH HOP!" printed on the
bottom.
Read more about fresh hops at McMenamins and our annual Running of the Brewers.
