Hops are the flowers of the Humulus Lupulus plant. For centuries, they have been used in beer for the bitter, aromatic, and preservative qualities they impart.

Throughout most of the year, breweries utilize hop flowers that have been dried to preserve them for year-round use. However, for just a short window of time every year during harvest season, brewers have the opportunity to brew with fresh, undried “wet” hops. Wet hops are picked off the bine in Yakima Wa, shipped cross-country, and are in the beer within 36 hours; ensuring the freshest and most unadulterated hop character possible!
