    Sunriver FH green initiative from the can. Solid representation of a FH IPA. Recommended

    Agree on Way too fresh. Had it at the FH fest and again from a can. Bursting with hip flavor, but somehow very drinkable at 9.9% ABV.

    Just checked Upright’s taplist and they have 2 FH beers and many others that look awesome. It’s been too long so I may have to make a visit this week

    I have mad Portland envy around this time every year.

    I had a bottle of this last week and thought it was killer.

    I had a can of this also about a week ago and thought it was a'ight. But then I had it on tap this weekend at UBG and holy wow...what a difference.

    Also got to try Cowiche as well, which was also very good, but seemed different somehow than what I remember. Also interested to try it packaged to see if it holds up to the draft pour (& got a crowler of it that I hope to A/B against a 12oz can). Cowiche was my "gold standard" FH for the longest time. Last year I felt like it didn't "pop" as much as I'd remembered it doing in years past (and this year's was not so much lack of pop but just not what I expected), but Fremont then more than made up for it with the stupid-good F2F Simcoe, which I thought was just amazing last year. It also made me realize that it must be the Simcoe in Cowiche that I like so much. Maybe next year they'll do single-hop F2Fs again. :grin:

    Grabbed Two Fresh, Dr. Jack, and Green Initiative at MoC yesterday. Gonna enjoy them this week. Almost grabbed a 6er of the Fremont Citra/Amarillo but I find it hard to get through a 6 of anything these days given how much I have on tap/in the fridge. Tough life.

    The fresh hops used are Simcoe from Perrault Farms in Toppenish Washington. Our other fresh hop beers coming out are: Hop Truck Crossing IPA brewed using Perrault Citra, "Mitch" a fresh hop strong pale ale (IPA) also brewed with Perrault Citra, and our annual Local AF IPA brewed with Eli's Chinook hops that are hand picked at the brewery. The Hop Truck Crossing IPA, and Local AF IPA are brewed at our pub, so very few kegs will make it out of Baker City. We also brewed a couple collaboration fresh hop beers, one with Bale Breaker and Wandering Hop, and another with Varietal Brewing and Ronin Fermentation Project.

    Followed by Alesong Farmfresh BA fresh hop saison/sour over at Beermongers. This is excellent. The nose is incredible.

    Hit every store in Newport. Not a single FH beer to be found. I hate you all

    Wow, by the time the FH beers reach you, the FH character will have faded. DM me if you want a few cans from WA.

    Had Fresh Hop Bodhi at Latona Pub last night. Tasted a lot like regular Bodhi but with an extra punch of hops.

    I appreciate knowing about the Latona Pub. Good on them.

    Closer to me, I noticed that Beer Junction also has added FH Bodhi to their taplist for their Fresh Hop event. They've got 26 fresh hop brews on tap. I'll be checking out the FH Bodhi for sure.

    Grabbed a can of Crux Way Too Fresh a little while ago. Is it the same as last years, or should I make a new entry for it?

    Just finished up a 2019 Dr. Jack by Crux. Plenty of malt foundation and bitey hops.
