Its so unique, because fresh-hop beers have a very short shelf life, explains event manager Nicole Jarman. Theyre only good for about a month, so these are beers you wont be able to find on the street. Theyre unique and special brews. Like, for instance, celebration participant Deschutes Brewerys Hop Trip Ale, which brews within hours of harvesting the hops, skipping a kilning process and adding a layer of citrus aroma.
In addition to the fresh-hopped beer, youll find information on home-brewing, contests and more. The party takes place from noon to 5 p.m.; call Jarman at 303-242-1032 for details.
