At the end of August each summer\,
many BC brewers leave their brew kettles and fermentation tanks behind to
go on a field trip. They travel to hop farms all around the province to co
llect fresh hops that are still wet and juicy from the harvest. Then they
race back to their breweries to brew a batch of beer with
\nthose hop
s. These special fresh hop (or wet hop) beers come out a few weeks later a
nd are available for a short time at the beginning of autumn.
The< strong> Victoria Beer Society is proud to announce the return of Fresh to Death: Victoria’s Harvest Celebration of Fresh Hop Fermentations on Sunday\, Oct. 16\, 2022 from 3 to 6pm. The event will feature close to 20 beers from BC craft breweries\, including fresh hop beers and other spe cial seasonal beers\, all celebrating the harvest season. It will take pla ce at the gorgeous Esquimalt Gorge Park Pavilion that opened earl ier this year — a definite improvement over past years when the event was held outdoors or in drafty\, unheated venues!
\nFor beer-and-food lo vers\, we have created a VIP ticket that includes early access to the even t with a delicious tasting of four beers paired perfectly with four canape s from the Rock Bay’s Bird & Basket. This unique guided t asting led by Joe Wiebe\, Beer Director for the Victoria Beer Soc iety\, will begin one hour before the main event at 2pm.
\nBeer List to be announced soon.
