    Fresh El Dorado just went into Kids These Haze and was smelling incredible. Going into cans on Friday.

    If y'all are on the FB, Matt McClung (formerly of Schooner Exact, now at Hales), posted a bunch of pics of them flying over the mountains, grabbing their hops, flying back, and getting those suckers into the whirlpool today.

    I love the NW!

    Looks like FH Eliot w/ Strata is on their online ordering page now. Any thoughts on the Strata vs Centennial?

    Varietal has a FH Pils with Simcoe in cans already. They're also doing their yearly FH Kellerbier collab with Holy Mountain this week.

    Truly enjoying a fresh guy with strata, compliments of itinerant fresh hop disciple @John_M . That unmistakable fresh hop herbiness pops out of the glass and all the bright glory of a cascadian summer is delivered directly to my face! Less than a week in the can to boot.

    Cheers to @afrokaze and crew too, this is my first experience with breakside and it is a delight. I'm sure I'll get back to Portland again someday and you lot will be top of my itinerary

    Happy beer Christmas fellow NW hop heads.
    It's the most. Wonderful time. Auv the yeeaarrrr......

    What? I’ve seen nothing in WA besides Two Beers! What gives?

    [I haven’t been looking that hard.]

    I just saw 2 Beers version today, but didn't bust open a sixer for one. I did grab a couple of Wanders 400 Cents 2020; it's a murkster this year, but plenty of bright Centennial flavor, and canned yesterday. The others I grabbed were from OR, maybe the ranches that WA brewers have deals with aren't ready yet? This Wander brew uses hops from CLS farms ( https://clsfarms.com/ ) over near Yakima, so we should start seeing them soon.

    @John_M sent me a couple, last week, both of which were on the shelves at the Food Coop this afternoon. I dunno.

    Up next is a Crux Pert Near. Also a centennial beer, like Wander 400 cents, but has more bite, and a drier finish.

    I also have seen nothing in the Seattle area, and haven’t been looking that hard. Expected to at least see Two Beers (which I’ve liked in the past) but so far nada. Though I’ve limited my search mostly to higher-end grocery stores.

    Swooped a few cans of Migration Fresh outta Portland(strata hops). Great nose, HUGE hop flavor and bitterness. Clocks in at 7.3% so a bit more intense than the first few FH beers this year.

    I like it a lot, and I think was $2.39 a can at Johns Mkt. gonna go buy a full 6 pack. Very impressed

    Whelp, yet another FH brew: Level Fresh-Hopped NWIPA. Variety not listed, but seems Centennial-ish to me.

    I picked up a 4-pack of Zoiglhaus Fresh Hop Zoigl-Kölsch this afternoon. Satisfying! The fresh hop character, as I noted in the WNWBAYDN thread, is subtle but enjoyable.
