Our Fresh Hop Strata IPA is brewed with freshly harvested Strata Hops from Oregon's Willamette Valley. These late-addition hops are used the same day they are picked. Once the beer has nearly fermented, it is then transferred to a “bright” tank where it is dry hopped with fresh Sabro hops from Washington's Yakima Valley. The beer itself is a lighter style IPA, brewed with pale two row malt, Dextrin and Vienna malt, plus a small addition of flaked oats. In addition to the dank, tropical citrus and floral hop characteristics, there are grassy, herbaceous notes from the use of the fresh hops.

straight from farm-to-kettle, this annual release has been a decade-long staple. This year’s single hop edition features Sabro, known well for its distinct tangerine, coconut, tropical fruit, and stone fruit aromas, with hints of cedar, mint, and cream. Appropriately, the malts take a backseat and allow the star of the show to shine.
