from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Admission is free and there is no need to pre-purchase tickets or tokens to sample the selection of sixteen fresh hop beers from fourteen different Colorado breweries.
The process of acquiring the hops, often from along the Western Slope, can be an adventure in of itself. Brewers are frequently a part of the process, waiting to find out when the hops will be ready, and even helping pick the hops. Comrade owner David Lin, who has won multiple Great American Beer Festival medals for the fresh hop Superdamp IPA, loves the challenge."It's a logistical nightmare every year," says Lin.
Colorado Brewers Guild executive director Shawnee Adelson is also excited for the event."Fresh hop season only comes once a year, and brewers get excited to work directly with their hop suppliers to make some of the freshest beers," says Adelson."Fresh hop beers create a unique flavor profile that is almost impossible to replicate, which is why there is a lot of excitement around this time of year.
