    Cruxtennial is on at the brewery. My parents brought a growler back with them.

    Three Creeks has our Cone Lick'r Fresh Hop Pale on tap today featuring Centennial from BC Farms, it will be available in 22oz bottles as well. Next week we'll have our Hop Wrangler Fresh Hop Red with Oregon Chinooks on tap. We'll be pouring at the Portland Fresh Hop Festival, the St. Paul Fresh Hop Festival, Septoberfest, Oakshire's Single Batch Fest and of course the Sisters Fresh Hop Festival.

    Cheers,

    Anyone know if Cowiche cans will be in 4-packs or 6-packs? Need to start making room in the beer fridge.

    With Brother being in 4 I'd be shocked if this is not in 4 as well.

    I guess. Crux was playing around with Ella back in February. I got to try a DIPA that showed it off. Not sure if it ever ended up being on tap at the brewery.

    Sounds good to me, man. PINTS Brewing Co. did a tasty pale ale with lots of Ella hops earlier this year. When I mentioned that I'd never heard of that hop, the bartender went back to the brewing area and brought me a few hop pellets in a snifter. Such a beautiful tangy, peachy aroma. I'll bet they'd be terrific in a Saison.

    Had a growler of fresh hop Laurelwood workhorse last night. While regular workhorse is one of my go to ipa's, I was a little let down by the fresh hop version.

    Any idea how soon? These two beers (the green in particular) are always two of my favorite fresh hops beers, and I can't wait to try this year's version.

    had the two beers fresh hop IPA on Saturday. 22 oz bottle from Metro Market on lower QA. Very tasty, not quite up to Cowiche level though...

    OSB just posted FB pics of fresh hops going into the kettle. Add that one to the list.

    I thought it was amazing fwiw, and I love the regular version too. I tried it only a few days after it became ready, was kind of a revelatory fresh hop moment for me acually. The nose on that stuff is (was?) crazyyyy
