Breakside Brewery Releases 10 Fresh Hop Beers In 2018

As we begin to see 2018 fresh hop beers hitting the marketplace, Breakside Brewery is set to release 10 fresh hop beers in the coming weeks. This will be a busy time of the year for the brewers at Breakside as it doubles the amount of fresh hop beers in 2018 as compared to last year.

Already on tap are fresh hop versions of its Stay West IPA; one with freshly picked Centennial hops and the other with freshly picked Simcoe hops. Both of these two offerings use hops grown at Crosby Hop Farms in Woodburn, Oregon.

While at Breakside Slabtown last evening, this location was pouring both Stay Fresh – Centennial and Stay Fresh – Simcoe. Both beers are ones to definitely try on your 2018 fresh hop quest. The Centennial version took us back to IPAs of yore with a great citrus aroma and taste.

Here’s a preview of what to expect when it comes to fresh hop beers from Breakside Brewery in the coming weeks…
