Victoria Beer Society presents "Fresh to Death: Victoria’s Harvest Celebration of Fresh Hop Beer", October 12th
Press Release
They travel to hop farms all around the province to collect fresh hops that are still wet and juicy from the harvest. Then they race back to their breweries to brew a batch of beer with those hops. These special fresh hop (or wet hop) beers come out a few weeks later and are available for a short time at the beginning of autumn.
The Victoria Beer Society is proud to announce the return of Fresh to Death: Victoria’s Harvest Celebration of Fresh Hop Beers on Saturday, October 12 from 2pm to 5pm at the Roundhouse at Bayview Place. The event will feature more than 20 fresh hop beers from BC craft breweries, along with some pumpkin beers and Oktoberfest-style lagers, all celebrating the harvest season.
For craft beer connoisseurs, we have created a VIP ticket that includes an exclusive guided tasting of a selection of four fresh hop beers led by Jeff Kendrew, Certified Cicerone, and early access to the event. Jeff will pick four beers that showcase different flavour profiles, and discuss what makes them special and unique. This VIP event begins at 1pm ahead of the start of the regular event at 2pm, and sold out early last year, the first time it was offered.
The full beer list appears on the following page.
