    Holy Mountain's Ritual (Citra pale with Brett) is made with 100% fresh hops.

    If the "Dried Hops" column on my spreadsheet is blank for a beer (with other data filled in), there's good chance the beer is 100% fresh hops. I'm trying to specify when breweries confirm that no dried hops are used, but not everyone answers my little survey with perfect detail (or at all).

    Noted & appreciated...just read the Breakside info sheet (b/c it's my cover photo). None are 100%.
    Thanks!

    I'd love fore someone to make a Brett pale in, say, January to give it time to develop, then dose it with fresh hops at harvest time. I can scarcely imagine how good a fresh hop Orval or Flemish Kiss would be.

    Definitely more FH nose on this beer than previously credited...even in the last pint of my growler. Hoping to get routed near Canby, later in the week, for more!

    Just added a map view here, link also in the spreadsheet. Zooming in on Seattle, Portland, or Denver is amusing.

    a friend was kind enough to bring me back a 4-pack of fresh IPA from Ft George. it's a good one, but a step below cowiche and breakside simcoe.

    Fresh IPA should be hitting Seattle this week. I loved it last year, hoping it's just as good this year.

    Count me in the Cowiche Fan Club...seven days old & it is bested only by the unfiltered Breakside Simcoe! One can is a bit of a tease, but for no effort it is SO worth enjoying! I wish all pales were so wheelhouse!
    I wouldn't change a thing!

    I need to get over to Burgundian for some Piled High.

    I'd go by there and check to see if Mo Fresh Hop is still on. Looks like it was brewery only aside from the Sisters Fresh Hop festival. My parents brought me back a mini-growler. Stuff is amazing.

    edit: Maybe it's all gone. Last check-in on Untappd was October 4th at the brewery. There were checkins within the last 11 hours for Cruxtennial and Cruxarillo, though.

    Growler Guys, Broken Top and Platypus might have other FH beers from the region. I've heard good things about Sun River's FH beer.
