The California Wet Hop Festival is an annual event that celebrates a distinctive and cherished brewing tradition. This festival highlights the unique process of crafting beers with hops harvested at their peak ripeness and immediately transported to the brewery. By skipping the usual drying process, brewers capture the freshest, most aromatic essence of the hop cone.
More than just a festival, it's an immersive experience where the freshest ingredients meet innovative brewing techniques. The result is a captivating array of beers, each showcasing the raw, unfiltered character of the hop. These beers boast an intensity of flavor and aroma, with a vivid green freshness unattainable with dried hops. Wet hop beers offer a unique sensory journey, featuring notes ranging from verdant pine and citrus to vibrant floral bouquets and subtle earthy undertones.
