Don't miss the Spokane Beer Event of the year!

Featuring the best NW freshies, food trucks, arts & crafts, entertainment, games, contests, and souvenir mugs!

Spokane Fresh Hop is an annual harvest celebration dedicated to uplifting the craft beer scene in the Northwest. 70% of the Worlds Hop production comes from the Yakima valley 3 hours away. What many don’t know is producing a Fresh Hop craft beer requires hops to be used within 8 hours of being harvested. This time constraint limits the breweries that can produce a Fresh Hop craft beer. The brewing process requires 4x the effort from traditional craft beer styles and as you can expect is one of the most expensive beers breweries create. This unique event allows participants to taste these amazing fresh brewed beers in one location from 20+ Inland NW breweries.

For 2023, the 1-day event on September 30th is a Brewery-focused event showcasing the creative talents of visionary Head Brewers from the Inland Northwest who are highlighting the flavors of the great Northwest. A judging panel made up of industry professionals will be tasting all the Fresh Hop craft beers from participating breweries and awarding the top 4 entries recognized. Join us in making this an event the region can rally around and be proud of.
