Fresh hop season is almost here, and we’re bringing back one of our absolute favorite annual traditions: The Fresh Hop Field Trip to Yakima Valley!
Hop on the Bus to Hop Country With Us
This year’s hop harvest is about to begin here in the Pacific Northwest and we want to bring you to the home of the hops. On Saturday, September 12th we’re taking another lucky group of beer fans on an incredibly fun, daylong excursion to the Yakima Valley to learn all about these fragrant green cones.
Only on this trip can you experience the harvest like a brewer: walking a hop field, touring a processing facility, and geeking out about volatile aromatics with a hop breeder—all while drinking beers brewed with freshly harvested hops! Here’s what’s included in the ticket price:
- Round trip coach transportation from Seattle
- Refreshing beverages (including a variety of fresh hop beer)
- Bagel with cream cheese for breakfast
- A guided tour of Roy Farms and a picnic lunch
- Two beers (or N/A drinks) at a Yakima brewery
- One Beer at Bale Breaker Brewing Company and tamales from Los Hernández Tamales
- A Reuben’s Brews Fresh Hop Field Trip t-shirt
