Lucky Lab Hop Harvest 2010
‘Tis the season for fresh hops. There’s no where else like the Cascadia and the Pacific Northwest when it comes to ripe citrus, piny alpha hops. To celebrate this year’s harvest, The Lucky Lab is encouraging you to get your savory homegrown strobiles together and bring ’em over to their Hawthorne Beer Hall on September 2nd starting around 3PM. Hops supplied will be used to brew The Mutt, a special hop mix-up brew brewed by brewers Ben Flerchinger, Abby Sherrill, and Casey Lyons. This annual co-operative picking is a great gathering of beer and hops lovers. Complimentary pitchers of beer will be provided and wort-brined chicken wings will be ready around 5PM.It is encouraged that pickers wear long sleeves and gloves.
Help the Lucky Lab break last year’s record of 215 pounds of fresh picked hops (which doubled 2008’s total). Tell your friends and bring those hops!

Funny, I just emailed them last night to find out when this was. This is one of the most fun events ever.
No gloves for me, man. I like that resin all over my fingers.
I agree with Bill. A great event I look forward to every year. Don’t let your 18 months old daughter pop a full hop cone in her mouth though. Luckily, she didn’t through up on the hops!
Dammit, I’m apparently now the poster boy for this event and I won’t be able to make it! You’d think the folks who make No Pity Pale would consider that there’s the Timbers final home game for the season that same night.
