Over the last few weeks, we have been talking about the magical time of year that is Hop Harvest and all of the Wet Hop beers that our brewers have created from this year's bounty. #hellahops
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now, we have two opportunities for you to sample several wet hop beers (among many others) in one place:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The Freshtival features super fresh, wet hop beers like Juice Culture from @armisticebeer, Fight The Plower from @seismicbrews, 505 Wet Hop from @moonrakerbrewing, Freshtivus from @cellarmakerbrewing and more! Get tickets for THIS Saturday's event: http://bit.ly/2OCnkVF

We’re gonna need a bigger boat... @ghosttownbrewing spent a few weekends in Yakima, WA participating in a hop sensory workshop and selecting hops! Brewers not only pick fresh hops for Wet Hop beers but also select hops that are dried or put into pellet form for the rest of the year. #hellahops

Fruition Brewing

The wet hop beers are continuing to flow into October! Last Friday, @fruitionbrewing released their Akiyama IPA - made from fresh Chinook hops from @akiyamahopyard. Our @drinkcoastbeer brewers are inspired and grateful to live close to such a stellar hop farm! #hellahops #drinkbaybeer

SS Jeremiah O'Brien, National Liberty Ship Memorial

Sure, you’ve been to a beer fest before, but have you ever been to a beer fest on a historic World War II marine ship? We didn’t think so.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This year’s Brews on the Bay is coming up next Saturday, October 19. Local brewers will be out in full force; stay tuned for the full beer list this week. Get your tickets at the link in our bio!

Cellarmaker Brewing Company

This week has been informally dubbed "Mosaic Week" at @cellarmakerbrewing, as they currently have 2 wet hop, Mosaic beers on tap at the brewery. "Mosaic Freshies" and "Live and Wet Die" were both made using Mosaic hops from @Perraultfarms in Yakima, WA.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Hop over to their tasting rooms to get these beers while they last!

Elkhorn Slough Brewing Co.

Isn't it great when you live next to a hop farm? Jorge - brewer at @elkhornsloughbrew - says:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"We are very lucky that Sam Akiyama and his hop farm is next door to our personal property. We have had a close up view to this hop farm developing and as part of our values, have supported this development of local hops and agricultural in general as part of our industry."
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Their farmhouse, fresh hopped saison - Anima Mundi - made with fresh @akiyamahopyard Hops in collaboration with @effigybrewing will be released October 4! #hellahops #drinkgaybeer

Fresh hops in the mash tub! @cellarmakerbrewing received just-picked hops from @perraultfarms in Toppenish, Washington on Monday and got right to work making their newest wet hop beer.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Like many of our members, @cellarmakerbrewing sent a few brewers up to the Pacific Northwest for more hop research. Head over to their page to see more of their stops in Washington and Oregon! #hellahops

Standard Deviant Brewing

Head brewer Paul at @standarddeviantbrewing in SF was a *little* excited when they received their fresh shipment of fresh Strata hops from @indiehops. Their wet hop IPA - Sir Richard Twist's Fresh Hop IPA - will be released TOMORROW in their taproom in the Mission! #hellahops

Sonoma, California

@fogbeltbrewing is going all out for Wet Hop season. They're hosting Wet Hop Week at their brewery in Santa Rosa from September 13-22, releasing FOUR wet hop beers and serving a Hops & Beer pairing.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Fogbelt believes strongly in supporting their local hop farmers and all of their wet hop releases feature hops from Sonoma County. They even invited 7 local hop farmers to deliver hops for Alliance Wet Hop IPA.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

SOMO Village

While we’re talking about wet hop beers, we’d be remiss not to mention the *entire festival* dedicated to the freshest beer in the bay. We’re partnering with @henhousebrewing to put on the first Freshtival on October 12!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The Freshtival is a celebration of freshness; all of the beer poured in the main festival area will have been packaged on or after October 5th. That’s right, more than 100 different beers, less than 7 days old, in perfect, brewery-fresh condition!
