A Fresh/Wet Hop IPA in January? How’s that possible? I thought hop harvest ended long ago. Well you’re right but thanks to science we can now brew fresh/wet hop beers year round. Our hop supplier Yakima Chief flash freezes freshly picked hops and then pelletizes them on their cryogenic pellet line then stores them frozen and overnights them to us on dry ice so we can add them to a beer like we would in the fall when we drive straight from the hop farms. We chose fresh frozen Simcoe, Citra, and Cascade for the dry hop in this year’s version of this beer. We then added a second dry hop of Simcoe and Segal Ranch High Oil Cascade Pellets. This beer leans a little more WC in execution with less haze, a drier finish, and a bit more bitterness.. Notes of Juicy Fruit gum, lemon verbena, stone fruit, and that nice herbacious fresh hop character. Enjoy it while it lasts. We won’t have another fresh hop beer out until September.

Hops: Simcoe 301, Cascade 301, Citra 301, Simcoe 702, Simcoe, Cascade
