Fresh Hop Ale Festival

It's not too early to be thinking of this year's Fresh Hop Ale Festival!

Last year, 3,000 enthusiastic aficionados of both fine craft beer and Allied Arts had a marvelous time in downtown Yakima, WA. This year, at the Eighth Annual Fresh Hop Ale Festival, you can expect more participating breweries with even more brews to sample as well as the return of home brewing demonstrations, the cigar tent, and food available from local restaurants.

Oh - and did we mention dancing? Dancing in the streets! Things will start to roll at 5 p.m. with Seattle-based roots folk-rock band Handful of Luvin' and will continue at 8:00 when new local favorite, Slideshow, hits the stage.

Really - can 3,000 people be wrong about a good time?

Come to the source!

The Fresh Hop Ale Festival celebrates the fact that 77% of the total U.S. hop crop is grown right here in the Yakima Valley!

Check back often for additional information including the Friday night Brewer's Dinners and our annual homebrew contest!
