Fresh/Wet Hop Beer
Most hops are dried and pelletised before being used in beer, which helps standardise and preserve them, as well as making them easier to transport and store. But with Fresh Hop IPAs, brewers use hops straight from the bine (yep, bine not vine, with a ‘b’) This means you get all the piney, earthy, citrusy goodness that fresh hops are known for!
This process also ensures that no two are alike. Depending on the hop variety, the timing of the harvest, seasonal weather, and the location of the farm, you can get wildly different results. Usually, hop suppliers can try to account for this by blending and drying hops at different rates, but in this case the variations are magnified and celebrated!
We recommend consuming these releases as soon and as enthusiastically as possible!
