Hopworks Urban Brewery announced its fresh hop lineup for 2022, with three beers returning in cans for the season: Fresh Hop Abominable (out now!), Fresh Hop Downstream IPA, and Fresh Hop Ace of Spaces Imperial IPA.

Press release with the details:

Certified B Corp Hopworks Urban Brewery is releasing three fresh hop brews this season, continuing its annual tradition of celebrating the fall hop harvest in the Pacific Northwest. This year’s offerings, made with hops picked fresh off the bine and used within hours of harvesting, include Fresh Hop Abominable, Fresh Hop Downstream IPA, and Fresh Hop Ace of Spades IIPA.

“Fresh hop season is one of the greatest times of year for brewers in the Northwest,” said head brewer Ryan Pappe. “It’s a celebration of the unique climate and soils that we’re so fortunate to have here, and of farmers like our friends at Goschie Farms and Roy Farms who dedicate their lives to cultivating this incredible crop. Every September, we look forward to mixing up our typical brewing schedule with some fresh hop experimentation, visits to hop farms, and deep inhales of that fresh cone fragrance!”

Hopworks’ 2022 fresh hop lineup includes:

Fresh Hop Abominable
7.3% ABV 65 IBU
The fresh-hop version of the company’s signature Abominable Winter Ale stays true to its namesake with fresh Centennial hops that add juicy notes of pine to the complex, citrusy ale. Available in 12-ounce six-packs and on tap starting now.

Fresh Hop Downstream IPA
7.0% ABV 60 IBU
Brewed with certified Salmon-Safe barley and fresh hops from Mainstem and Roy Farms, this Pacific Northwest IPA has notes of fruit and spice with pine, grapefruit and pineapple flavors. Available in 16-ounce 4-packs beginning September 16.

Fresh Hop Ace of Spades IIPA
8.6% ABV 100 IBU
This fresh-hop beast is brewed with Cascade, Centennial, Simcoe, Mosaic and Amarillo hops to balance beautiful citrus notes, fresh Strata hops and a clean malt bitterness. Available in 16-ounce four-packs and on tap beginning September 16.

All three fresh hop brews are available at Hopworks’ Powell Mothership, located at 2944 Southeast Powell Boulevard, and HUB Vancouver, at 17707 Southeast Mill Plain Boulevard in Vancouver, Washington. They can be found in cans at select retailers throughout the Pacific Northwest, while supplies last.

I’ve already been drinking Fresh Hop Abominable, and will have a review of it and others out soon!
