Fresh Hop Beer Season Is Here

October – when the weather begins to cool down and the days grow shorter, we’ve only got one thing on our mind: fresh hop beers. This year, we want you to know exactly where to find our beers near you. 

We have a handful of fresh hop beers hitting the streets in the coming days. You can find Citra Slicker Wet Hop IPA in 16oz 4-packs and on draft across our distribution channels in Washington, Oregon, and Northern Idaho, and Piled High Imperial Fresh Hop Ale on draft at a handful of our usual haunts. And if you’re very lucky, you might stumble across Forever Greens Fresh Hop IPA on draft around the PNW. You can always use our beer finder to locate these beers near you, but we’ve outlined some key locations to find them this year:
