Aslan Brewing Co.

Roy Farms Fresh Hop

Centennial fresh hops from Roy Farms in Moxee, WA, bring out doug-fir and pine notes in this expressive IPA. Combination of raw and malted wheat was used to make this Aslan’s first fresh hop of the season.

Fresh Hop Pale

Boundary Bay’s Fresh Hop Pale Ale is brewed with fresh, whole-cone wet Amarillo hops. The 250-mile journey to Virgil Gamache Farms in Toppenish garners exceptional Yakima-valley harvested hops. Epitomize the season and delight your senses with this easy-drinking farm-to-table experience.

6% ABV

GRUFF Brewing Co.

50/50 Fresh Hop IPA

All of the fresh hops in this beer were grown and harvested by the lovely team at @valleyfarmstead. It’s called 50/50 because it was 50lbs of fresh hops dropped off and in the kettle in 50 minutes from the last hop picked. Showcasing 8 different hops this tasty clear beer is goooooood.

Gose and Helles Lager

Gruff’s new gose weighs in at 5% ABV, and the Helles at 5.1% ABV.

Illuminati Brewing Co.

Pirate Den’s Porter

Menace Brewing

Joey Doesn’t Share Fresh Hops

Menace’s new fresh hop pays tribute to everyone’s favorite 90’s TV doofus, Joey Tribbiani. And we thought Bellingham was maxed out on delicious fresh hop beers. We were wrong!

Stones Throw Brewery

Sticks and Stones IPA

This IPA was made in collaboration with Bellingham food truck Big Stick BBQ. Available Saturday, this specially crafted IPA features a prominent blend of Mosaic, El Dorado, Simcoe, Centennial, and Citra hops and trust us, the “product testing” tells us it pairs perfectly with Big Stick BBQ’s delicious rack of ribs…

Structures Brewing

Available Saturday, one case per person limit.

Wander Brewing

Googly Eyes IPA
