Fremont Brewing 2020 Fresh Hop Beers – Farm to Ferment, Cowiche Canyon, and Head Full of Fresh Hops

As the 2020 hop harvest continues, Fremont Brewing has unveiled its fresh hop beer releases for the fall season. Set to release three fresh hop beers this year, the first beer to be released from the Seattle brewer is Farm to Ferment – Fresh Hop Pale Ale. It will be followed by Cowiche Canyon – Fresh Hop Ale and Head Full of Fresh Hops – Fresh Hop Hazy IPA.

Each harvest, Fremont Brewing travels over the Cascade range to the Yakima Valley where it partners with a handful of hop growers. Its brewers and sensory team then pick the most flavorful of each hop variety for our beers. The fresh hops the Fremont selects then make a speedy trip from farm to brewing kettle within mere hours, always less than 24 hours after harvest. Each of these fresh hop beers is brewed with an average of 25 monstrous pounds of whole cone, fresh hops per barrel!

All three beers will be packaged in cans and will see full distribution in the Fremont Brewing distribution footprint beginning a few days after the posted brewery release dates. Fremont will also release a few brewery-only fresh hop draft options

Here’s a rundown on the three fresh hop can releases from Fremont Brewing…
