Coin Toss Brewing to Host 2nd Annual Fresh Hop Showcase

As the hop harvest begins to wind down, Coin Toss Brewing Co. in Oregon City will host its 2nd annual Fresh Hop Showcase. The brewery will be dedicating six of its 12 taps to fresh hop Oregon beers and cider, each made with a different variety of fresh hops picked off the bine and used within hours of harvesting. The week-long celebration of Oregon’s annual hop harvest begins on Tuesday, September 29, and runs through Sunday, October 3rd, or until the kegs kick.

Coin Toss’s Fresh Hop Showcase will feature five fresh hop beers and one fresh hop cider from Oregon City and Willamette Valley companies, including Bent Shovel Brewing, Coin Toss Brewing, Oregon City Brewing, Oakshire Brewing, Shattered Oak Brewing, and Bauman Cider Co.

“For brewers, fresh hop season feels like Christmas,” said Tim Hohl, Coin Toss Brewing Founder, in a statement. “Especially this year with all the COVID challenges, it’s such a relief and so much fun to brew this one-of-a kind beer style.”

Added Chip Conlon, Coin Toss Brewing Head Brewer, in a statement, “Fresh hop is my favorite beer in the kettle and in my pint glass. We love this opportunity to show off the flavors and styles we and our beer friends can create during the fresh hop season.”

During the 2nd Annual Fresh Hop Showcase, fresh hop beers and cider will be available in a flight of six or by the glass, pint or crowler.

Here’s a preview of the fresh hop beers and cider that will be pouring from September 29th through October 3rd.
