Our first Hopfest showcase event of October — other than having multiple fresh hops beers on draft throughout the month– is hosting our friends at Fremont Brewing and showcasing all 4 of their Field to Ferment Fresh Hop Pale Ales, as well as their Cowiche Canyon Fresh Hop. It’s an all around celebration of Fremont Fresh Hops. The event starts at 3pm. We look forward to seeing you. More info on here.
Yes this is an old logo, however we are thinking of bringing it back. Which brings us to Hopfest, our annual celebration of hoppy goodness is quickly approaching. This festival is constantly evolving, as it was originally held in August, then moved to September, and is now getting pushed even later. Why? Well, it’s pretty simple! Fresh hop beers are totally dependent on the weather and the timing of the hop harvest, and we want the freshest beers possible for your drinking pleasure.
This year we’re also trying something a little different! Instead of a week long festival, we’re going to celebrate hops and fresh hops the entire month of October! What does this mean? Well, you can count on there being at least 10 fresh hop beers on draft at all times, which we’ll tap as they become available, and constantly rotate. Plus we’ll also be holding select Hopfest events throughout the month, the first of which will be the Fremont Fresh Hop Showcase, on October 8th (see details below).
So, stay tuned, and we hope you will join us (many times!) for our October-long Hopfest!
Fremont Fresh Hop Showcase. Starts @ 3pm. Fremont Brewing is putting out a rotating series of fresh hop beers throughout September, called Field to Ferment—with a different varietal each week. We are going to hold on to one of each, and tap them on October 8th.
On Tuesday, September 13th come out and try some delicious mead and cider from Moonlight Meadery. We will be putting their Paramour and How do You Like Them Little Apples, on draft. We will also be pour 2 or 3 other meads from the bottle. What follows is a blurb about them taken directly from their website:
It all started back in 1995 when Michael, our founder and head mead maker, tried a cyser (apple and honey mead) for the first time. Since that first sip Michael has developed a passion for, and masterful skill at, making international award winning meads. Michael Fairbrother started Moonlight Meadery® with a mission to bring ultra premium meads to the market place. It is more than merely a product or a process, it’s our obsession.
Our meads will be unique and unlike anything you have ever tried – you will find it incredible! Mead and Ciders are only as good as the quality of their ingredients and the passion of the maker. This is why we use only True Source Certified™ honey, which is traceable back to the hives. We never pasteurize the honey we use, this ensures that the volatile aromatics of the honey are preserved through to the finish.
Since starting production in May of 2010, we have grown beyond our wildest dreams. We hope you will stop by to hear our story and try our meads, and tell your friends.
