Drink Those Wet Hop Beers While You Can The Pacific Northwest has the best wet hop beers in the world. But they won't last long.

The 2017 version of the 10 Farmers Harvest Pale Ale will be released this Thursday 8/31 at Three Notch'd Brewing Company (Grady Ave Location). This is an opportunity to taste a wet hopped beer made with Virginia grown hops, over 100 lbs of which were from our Hop Yard. This truly unique brew only comes around once a year, don't miss it.

It was a perfect day out at the Yard on Sunday for the 2017 harvest. Once again we are pleased to say that the entire crop was delivered to Three Notch'd Brewing Company to be used in the 10 Farmers Wet Hopped Pale Ale. Be on the lookout for this once-a-year limited release harvest ale, in about a month!

Grabbed a sample of the hops today to be sent to VT Enology Analytical Services Laboratory. They sure smelled tasty coming off the plants, can't wait to see how much bitter goodness is in there.

Some good info here on what makes wet hopped beers so unique...and delicious.

The 2016 harvest was a huge success! Thank you so much to our family and friends who came out, we never could have done it without you. We used Hip Hop Hill's picking machine this year, which was a big help. All 165 lbs of fresh Cascade hops went directly into the kettle at Three Notch'd Brewing Company for their annual locally sourced wet-hopped harvest ale. Mark your calendar, the 10 Farmers Pale Ale will be released on September 1st.
