The 2017 Fresh Hop Throwdown at is in the books, and Fresh Hop Wanderlust from \u00a0took top honors from the judges. 18 fresh hop beers\u00a0from WA and OR were featured at the event. There was a blind \u00a0judging of all the beers earlier in the day, and the beers that placed in the Best of Show round are (in order):<\/p>\n
1) Breakside Brewery Fresh Hop Wanderlust (Cascade)
2) Reuben\u2019s Brews Amarillo Fresh Hop (Amarillo)
3) Aslan Brewing Stand IPA (Centennial)<\/p>\n
There were a lot of great beers pouring (full list included below)\u00a0and there was stiff competition across the board. A big thumbs up to the entire staff at The Noble Fir for another great year. Also, a big thanks to the judges that participated and the breweries that were a part of the Throwdown. This event is always a lot of fun.<\/p>\n

I would imagine that several of these fresh hop beers are still on tap at The Noble Fir, so if you missed the event you can stop by when they open back up Tuesday (4pm)\u00a0to see what is left.<\/p>\n
