The award-winners at Bale Breaker know more about hops than pretty much everyone! The brewery is located smack-dab in the middle of a hop field in Washington’s Yakima Valley and the family that owns it has been growing hops for 4 generations! In the Pacific Northwest, fridge staples like Topcutter IPA, Field 41 Pale Ale, and Bottomcutter Imperial IPA are in high demand year-round. And during harvest season, Bale Breaker’s Fresh Hop Beer takes “fresh” to a whole new level! Each fall, the big city brewers from Cloudburst Brewing trek from downtown Seattle, over the mountains, to the Bale Breaker farm for their anticipated fresh hop beer collab — Citra Slicker Wet Hop IPA. Even if you can’t make it to Washington to visit Bale Breaker and walk among the hop vines, with a few cans of their world-class brews, you’ll feel like you’re sippin’ straight from the field. Hype: Afar Magazine, CraftBeer.com, Sip Northwest — everyone’s buzzin’ about Bale Breaker!
