It’s that suspenseful time of year, where the hop picking is in full swing but the fresh hop beers aren’t ready yet (unless you’re cheating) so we teamed up with CLS Farms in Moxee to make an IPA with three choice lots of varieties we all know and love: Chinook, Cascade, Vista.

Farmers, brokers, brewers and more and more consumers (like YOU!) are aware that there are lots of variables that alter characteristics in the same genetically identical hop variety – from ground treatments to location/terroir to pick window to picker type and kiln to storage and processing – and thus, not all Chinook/Cascade/Vista/etc is the same! So it makes this beer extra fun, where nuances of their farm shine through – the Chinook is more pine-like, the late pick Cascade more blood orange, the Vista more meyer lemon and rosey. And since we’ve teamed up with CLS in the past – for collabs, causes, and good times – we’re both donating some proceeds of this beer to the Yakima Wellness House!
