Fresh Hop Ale Festival
September 29 th – 30 th , 2017
Millennium Plaza – Yakima, WA, USA
Fresh Hop Ale Festival is a celebration of the hop and craft beer industry. The Yakima Valley produces 75% of the United States’ hop crop, and this festival showcases the unique beers that are produced with our valley’s hops. For a beer to be considered a “fresh hop ale,” it must be produced with Yakima Valley hops that were picked no more than 24 hours prior to brewing. This is a one-of- a-kind beer festival that is only possible in the heart of hop country! There’s nothing better than the smell and sights of fields and fields of fresh hops ready for harvest. Every year, during the fall harvest season in Yakima, Washington, the Fresh Hop Festival takes place, showcasing more than 100 beers brewed with hops picked no more than 24 hours prior to brewing. If you’re a fan of fresh hop beers, you won’t want to miss this festival.
