\nOn Saturday, I made a visit to The Late Harvest Fresh Hop Festival at Loyal Legion<\/a>. I wasn’t able at attend other Fresh Hop beer festivals this season, so I was glad to learn about this when it was announced.<\/p>\n

While I love beer festivals in general, I especially enjoyed the format of this event. It had no tasting mugs, no entry fees, tokens, or long lines. Instead, I just selected the beers I wanted to taste and received a personalized tasting tray. Prices, at $2 for a 5 oz. taster, were great. Also unique was the ability to taste the beers side-by-side–something you generally can’t do at a “traditional” beer fest. The only improvement I might suggest is to provide a list of detailed beer descriptions, which would have been helpful when making selections.<\/p>\n

As far as favorite tastes, Stormbreaker’s Cloudripper FH Citra was a standout for me. It was loaded with bright, juicy orange. I was less excited about  DeGarde’s The Frais FH, as it had way too much<\/i> barnyard flavor. Apparently, some people are into that…<\/p>\n

Anyway, I thought it was a great event and hope to see more with a similar format! To learn more about other beer events, please visit the Oregon Beer Event Calendar<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
