Fresh Hop season kicks off at Monday’s pickin’ party



Join Two Beers Brewing on August 22nd for this annual fresh hop tradition

It’s become something of an unofficial kickoff to fresh hop season. Each year, for years now, Two Beers Brewing has been among the very first breweries to get its hands on fresh hops. In large part, this is by virtue of a long-standing relationship with one particular hop farm. The brewery invites the public to participate in the hop-picking part of the process, which is when your human hands remove the hop cones from the bines. It’s tradition.

About the time you’re rolling out of bed to pour your first cup on Monday morning, the crew from Two Beers Brewing will already be on the road, headed for the Yakima Valley. There, they’ll cut down a whole bunch of bines, stuff them into a big box truck, and then head back to Seattle with a load of fresh hops ready for pickin’. That’s where you come in.

Join fellow beer lovers on Monday, August 22nd for the annual Hop Pickin’ Party at Two Beers Brewing. There are three sessions, two hours each, and pre-registration is recommended. Enjoy a beer on the patio, pick some hops, and repeat.

Pro tip: wear long sleeves. Some folks get a rash from hops-to-skins contact. Especially on the underside of the forearms. It’s nothing drastic or worrisome, just a bit annoying. Why mess with it?
