Reuben’s Brews offers a rare opportunity to get behind the scenes for the hop harvest. Tickets will go fast. This is an experience usually reserved for professional brewers and other industry insiders. The hop harvest is a fantastic process; you’ll see it up close and personal. On Saturday, September 13th, a bus will whisk you away from Seattle in the morning, take you to Yakima, and return you that night. Along the way, witness the magic of hop harvest. Food and beverages provided. More details below.

Step One: Bottom Cutter.

The cost is $199 per person, but a discount is available if you sign up before August 29th. If that sounds like a lot of money, take a look at what you get. And remember, this is an uncommon opportunity. How else can a civilian tour a hop farm and processing facility? Be ready to wear a hard hat and no open-toe shoes. Here’s the word from Reuben’s Brews.

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. So on Saturday, September 13th 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.”

They call it a hop-picker, but it’s a series of machines doing God’s work.

“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!”
