EDGEWATER, Colo. — Fresh Hop season is upon us! Joyride Brewing Company (2501 Sheridan Boulevard, Edgewater, CO 80214) is thrilled to host a Fresh Hop tap takeover with 14 participating craft breweries. Joyride’s Fresh Hop Festival takes place on Saturday, Oct. 9 from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Ten percent of sales from Fresh Hop beers on that day will be donated to the Colorado Brewers Guild (CBG) to support their mission of promoting, protecting and propelling independent craft breweries in Colorado.
“I love fresh hop beers, and I've been fortunate enough to be in Yakima, Washington, as well as the Western slope of Colorado for harvest season on multiple occasions,” says Dave Bergen, co-founder and director of brewing and marketing at Joyride Brewing. “An event I looked forward to every year was Falling Rock's Fresh Hop Fest, and with that not happening, I wanted to assemble some of the finest fresh hopped beers in town so fans of these beers could have the opportunity to sample several of them at the same place.”
Fresh Hop beers have been a cherished tradition for many breweries and they can only be produced this time of year. When it comes to hops, beer is typically brewed with dried hop pellets. Fresh Hop (also known as wet hop) beers, however, are unique in that whole cones are harvested and then used within 48 hours.
The following CBG member breweries will be offering fresh hop beers this month:
Broken Compass Brewing
Bruz Beers
Call to Arms Brewing Company
Diebolt Brewing Company
Dry Dock Brewing Co.
Fiction Beer Company
FlyteCo Brewing
Jagged Mountain Craft Brewery
Joyride Brewing Company
Odell Brewing Company
Ratio Beerworks
Station 26 Brewing Co.
Strange Craft Beer Company
The Empourium Brewing Company
