About
Four lifelong Oregonians got together on February 13, 2009 and decided that their knowledge of locale and understanding of craft beer could be an excellent starting point for a business. Later that year Hop Valley Brewing had its debut in Springfield, Oregon, but grew too large for its 15-barrel capacity and opened a new 60-barrel brewhouse and taproom in Eugene in 2013. In July 2016 MillerCoors acquired a majority stake of Hop Valley through its Tenth and Blake craft beer and import division. Hop Valley Brewing Company will operate as a separate business unit of Tenth and Blake.

Old rating from 15-11-15 - Pours a golden colour with a fast disappearing white head. Aromas of caramel, fruit & malt. Tastes of some spice mixed with caramel & fruit. A very moderate bitterness leading to a dry aftertaste. Overall a enjoyable beer without setting the world alight.

19.2 ounce can from Appleton's most notorious Kwik Trip, 3/4/25. Slightly hazy yellow, large white head, average retention. Aroma of dirty citrus, pale malt. Taste is lemongrass, emon, orange, pale malt. Syrupy. Meh.

Can looks identical, with the same description, but it's called stash burst. My be different naming for Canadian market, also same abv. Hazy yellow, medium white head. Super pithy lemon and grapefruit zest. Medium to high bitter. A real hop bomb.

Clear copper pour, with a medium white head. Aroma is sweet candied grapefruit zest, with soft spruce notes. Full mouth feel, soft carb. Medium bitterness, light cereals, sweet, but not cloying grapefruit notes. Nice stuff.
