Celebrate the 2009 Oregon Hop Harvest with the Sixth Annual Fresh Hop Beer “Tastivals”

What:
At least 75 of Oregon’s breweries lie within 100 miles of hop fields, and the annual harvest presents the perfect opportunity for Oregon brewers to demonstrate their unique proximity to one of America’s premier hop growing regions. As a result, Oregon has become the epicenter of ‘fresh hop’ beer production, leading the nation with earthy beers filled with intense herbal, floral and citric aromas, and a pleasing bitterness.

To celebrate these amazing brews, Oregon Bounty and the Oregon Brewers Guild have collaborated to host a statewide series of three Fresh Hop Beer “Tastivals,” each featuring a selection of fresh hop beers from many of Oregon’s top craft breweries. This is a once-a-year chance to taste what Oregon’s finest brewmasters can do with just-picked hops. Sample 25+ of the more than 50 fresh hop beers produced by Oregon’s top craft brewers, large and small.

When & Where:
October 3, Noon to 9pm – Hood River Hops, Hood River
October 10, Noon to 9pm – Oaks Amusement Park, Portland
October 17, Noon to 9pm – 948 Olive Parking Lot, Eugene – 21+ only

Cost:
Admission is free; glasses are $5, and individual tastes are $1 each.

Additional Info:

6th Annual Hood River Hops Fest will feature more than 50 beers from 27 Northwest breweries, including 32 Fresh Hop beers. Hops Fest features live music all day, local food and art vendors, and a Kids Zone to keep the young ones happy.

Fresh Hop beer is made during the short window of hop harvest every year, with straight-from-the-vine hops. Instead of the usual process of immediately drying and sending baled hop cones to cold storage, the fragile fresh hops are taken straight to the brewery and, in most cases, used in the beermaking process that very same day. Fresh hops possess a whole range of aromatics, flavors and resinous textures that are often changed during drying.

Tour de Lab is a bicycle tour of the three Lucky Lab brew pubs. You’ll journey along urban
routes on this 18-mile ride. But if you feel you really need to earn that pint, you can
choose the 30-mile Big Dog course.
At each of the rest stops you’ll earn your doggie gear: tail, ears and nose. Once you’re
fully dogged up, it’s time to kick back, relax and enjoy the dog days of summer with your
Tour de Lab pint of Lucky Lab’s handcrafted ale. The commemorative pint glass is yours to
keep.
