DENVER — Fresh hop season is here! The Colorado Brewers Guild (CBG) is thrilled to announce that more than 15 independent Colorado breweries will be offering fresh hop beer this month. Fresh hop beers have been a cherished tradition for many breweries and they can only be produced this time of year. When it comes to hops, beer is typically brewed with dried hop pellets. Fresh hop (also known as wet hop) beers, however, are unique in that whole cones are harvested and then used within 48 hours.
From a Pale Ale using hops flown straight in from Paonia to a beer with fresh Neo Mexicana hops from the Denver Botanic Gardens, there is no question that Colorado breweries are getting creative this fresh hop season. The following CBG member breweries will be offering fresh hop beers this month:
Bristol Brewing Co.
Bruz Beers
Call to Arms Brewing Company
Capitol Creek Brewery
Elevation Beer Co.
FlyteCo Brewing
Green Mountain Beer Company
Holidaily Brewing Company
Jagged Mountain Craft Brewery
Joyride Brewing Company
Little Machine Beer
Locavore Beer Works
Moonlight Pizza & Brewpub
Odell Brewing Company
Strange Craft Beer Company

Tivoli Brewing Company
And more to come!
