SARTORI HARVEST IPA IS HERE!

Thursday, October 1st, 2009

Those of you following us on Twitter may have noticed some recent posts describing our mission to the Columbia Valley to pick up some hops. This was a pilgrimage we had been waiting a year to make!

Once a year, during the late summer hop harvest lucky brewers can get their hands on fresh hop flowers. Usually hops are dried to be used year-round, but that doesn’t mean we can’t use them fresh!

That is the idea behind this “wet hop” IPA; the hops from Sartori Cedar Ranch, a fledgling hop farm south of Chilliwack were spirited from the farm to the brewery and immediately used in this one, very special tank of beer.

Sartori Cedar Ranch, along with a few other farms are breathing new life into a hop industry in BC that was nearly extinct; this beer is a celebration of BC hops!
