Come to the Source!
Join us for the excitement of award-winning craft breweries, live music, homebrew demos, a cigar tent, fabulous raffle, special 5th year glassware, plus local food and wine. Among Washington beer festivals, the festival's premise is specific and unusual. Here's the deal: to create a "fresh hop ale" brewers must get "wet" Yakima hops (which provide aroma and flavor to beer) from the vine to the vat within 24 hours to create the headlining ale.
The Yakima Valley should be a priority stop for anyone interested in coming to beer's "source" -- the Valley produces almost 77% of America's hops used for brewing. Check out new features in 2007, like Friday night Brewers' Dinners at local restaurants, and our first-ever homebrew contest!
