A combo so delightful it invokes comparisons with Batman & Robin, peanut butter & jelly and all the best duos... Our Autumn Fresh Hop Fest marries longtime favorite Autumn Ale Fest with new kid on the block Fresh Hopped Fest, creating one spectacular brewfest featuring beers inspired by fall alongside beers brewed with fresh hops (more on that below).

Join us for tasting 14 beers and ciders, brewery tours and spirits tasting - September perfection.

Brewery Tours * 1-3pm
Spirits Tasting * 3-6pm

What's so special about fresh hopped beer?
These 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 without 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 harvest, 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 at this brewfest.
