Recently, some fresh picked, skunky, funky smelling green hops showed up at the brewery. It was HARVEST TIME. Each year, right around the time that the weather starts to cool, fresh sticky hops are picked off of the vine and sent to us overnight so we can use them in a “Fresh Hop” or “Harvest” ale. This is done quickly so we can use these little guys before they lose a single bit of their intensely dank aromas and flavors.
