    I'll give a thumbs up to the StormBreaker fresh hop IPA on tap at Beermingers right now. Nice strong and clean Strata hop character. I think the beer is called Harmonica Solo. If you see it, try it.

    Two Beers' FH IPA is out, and I saw Occidental's FH Pils at Bottleworks last week.

    Cloudburst has A$AP Hoppy on tap at the brewery, but they're closed Mon/Tues and I don't think kegs have hit anywhere else yet.

    FH Breakside IPA with Simcoe is getting kegged today and should be on tap at Milwaukie shortly. This Simcoe smelled incredible when it showed up so don't miss out on this one.

    In the past, that's invariably been one of Breakside's best FH IPA (IMHO). Very much looking forward to this year's batch, and more than happy to drive over to Milwaukie to sample some.

    Really hope the Baerlic and Crux beers stick around for a bit. Past few years, I feel as if Crux has been pretty near the gold standard when it comes to area FH beers (with Culmination and Breakside a close second).

    Enjoying one of these FH Occidental pils, I picked up at Chucks yesterday. Fantastic stuff!

    Block 15 Fluffhead tasting good. Up next Barley Brown What the IBU? Still haven't found my Pallet Jack fix on this trip, but the search continues.

    Enjoyed Breakside's Fresh Gold and Cascade Fresh Hop IPA last night. Breakside always does a great job this time of year. Still need to try their Strata Smashbang.

    We just started getting Breakside distribution out here in MT. Do they package any fresh hop stuff or is it all brewery only?

    Not necessarily brewery-only, but draft-only, and very little outside Portland in my observation.

    We get most all of the draft only FH offerings in Seattle, but always a bit later than Oregon.

    I made a quick run out to Orenco and picked up a mixed 4-pack of fresh hop beers. First up: Hopworks Singing Bird Hazy Fresh Hop IPA.

    This is good. Better than I was expecting. I'm glad I picked this up.

    might make it over to HM today for their simcoe-infused beers on tap.

    who's making it out to fresh hop fest in yakima this year? i'm 50/50, hoping they improve on the format this year.
