Washington Beer Awards Fresh Hop Competition – winner will be announced tonight at The Growler Guys

This year, for the first time, the folks who operate the Washington Beer Awards held a Fresh Hop Competition. Each spring breweries from across the state submit beers for the Washington Beer Awards and the winners are announced at the Washington Brewers Festival in June. Since fresh hop beers only happen once a year, this new competition is a supplement to the larger competition.

The winners of the Washington Beer Awards Fresh Hop Competition will be announced tonight (Thursday, October 10th) at The Growler Guys in Seattle. The announcement happens at 7:00 PM and is part of The Growler Guys Fresh Hop Fresh-tival celebration. The event will include, as you might expect, a lot of fresh hop beer on tap for your enjoyment. You can see the taplist here.

Here’s a press release about the competition.
