    I know the season is winding down, but Mrs. vurt is heading for Boise this weekend, and asked me to find out if there's any local fresh hop action she should watch for. Doesn't have to be canned or bottled. Draft is just fine too.

    As it happens, a hoboette is in Boyzee for work this week. I shall text her on the morrow, and see what Intel she can provide.

    What's the report? I am headed to ID this week myself. I'd love to check out one of the farms, too, if any of them cater to visitors.

    Shit... Sorry everybody.

    If there is every anything Boise or SW Idaho you need answered, please tag me in threads.

    Right now, there isn't a bunch of FH stuff still available, Sawtooth has a can out. Not much else off the top of my head.

    Wasn't sure if you were looking for Idaho breweries fresh hop or any in Boise?

    The last Fremont Field to Ferment and probably can still find the Fresh hop Head Full of Dynomite. Also HUB still has a few cans around too.

    When I posted the question, I was looking for any fresh hop beers from Idaho breweries.

    My wife did her own recon and brought a couple cans home:
    • Sawtooth No Friends on a Fresh Hop Day hazy IPA
    • Mother Earth Fresh As It Gets fresh hop IPA
    I thought the Mother Earth beer was better, but appreciated the hefty bitter finish of the Sawtooth beer.

    Will do! Looks like I'll be heading to Boise myself in a couple weeks.
