Local beer lovers, rejoice!
This year's hop harvest has arrived early, and Deschutes Brewery is ready. Today, August 26th, between 10:00 and 11:00 a.m., trucks full of fresh hops will arrive at the Colorado Ave. brewery. The hops will immediately be transferred to an already-brewing batch of Hop Trip Fresh Hop Ale. You're invited to watch it all happen.
In honor of the annual hop trip, Deschutes Brewery will be adding a "fresh hop" stop to that day's brewery tour. In addition, the brewers are setting aside five 5-pound bags of fresh hops for local homebrewers. (The first five local home brewers to email me will get a bag of hops.) If you're interested in joining us at the brewery for this annual event, please let me know. I'll add you to the list of people to alert when the trucks leave the valley. Pass it on.
Cheers,-Renee (@grassrootspr)
