Fresh Hop Festival
This weekend, the series of fresh hop "tastivals" kicks off in Hood River. I missed these last year, so I can't speak from personal experience--but they look cool.
Future Tastivals:
Oct. 18 – Hopworks Urban Brewery, Portland , Noon – 9 p.m.
Oct. 25 – Ninkasi Brewing Company, Eugene, Noon – 9 p.m.
Incidentally, I did make it to Belmont Station last night, and I'll have my thoughts on fresh-hop beers from Ninkasi, Double Mountain, Full Sail, and Hopworks later.
- Roughly two dozen breweries with at least one fresh-hopped beer, many with more than one.
- Food, Columbia Gorge wines, and craft vendors.
- Live music and a children's play area (kids welcome from noon-6:30 pm)
