A special edition to Block 15's year-round Pilsner fresh-hopped with Oregon-grown Lorien hops from Indie Hops grown on Goschie Farms. To extract every bit of the Lorien hop's aroma, Block 15 used a technique of freezing the hops with liquid nitrogen, then shattering them to open up full access to the lupulin glands. They bagged the shattered hops and racked the beer within a few minutes, locking in the freshness of flavors.

FORT GEORGE FRESH HOP NIGHT

Astoria, Oregon’s Fort George Brewery will be at the pop-up their largest selection of their fresh hops in one place in 2023:

Fresh IPA w/ Centennial
This year, we loaded up the hop back with 500 pounds of Fresh Centennial Hops from Crosby Farms. With bright, classic piney Centennial and a little zesty Simcoe, Fresh IPA has been finely tuned and perfectly calibrated to go well with the end of summer, the beginning of the hop harvest, shorter days, longer nights, an increase in spiders and a decrease in sunburns. From the bine, to the can, to your taste buds in just a matter of days, Fresh IPA is best consumed FRESH. ABV: 6.4%
Columbus Architect IPA w/ Ghost Town w/ Columbus
Sorcerers of madness, Ghost Town and Fort George, this year renew their profane bond of friendship forged over the fires of their irreverent love of fresh hops and Black Sabbath to create Columbus Architect, a crisp, aromatic IPA with Fresh Columbus Hops, straight from the farm. Lightly and refreshingly bitter, Columbus Architect is so much darker than the sum of its ingredients ABV: 6.66%
Fields of Green - Fresh Hop Hazy IPA with Fresh Simcoe
We make Fields of Green when we feel like it and every batch is different.That way it’s always FRESH. But it’s never as FRESH as this year’s FRESH HOP Fields of Green. We managed to get our hand on enough Fresh Simcoe to sink a canoe or feed a full-grown Indian Elephant for 2 days or stuff 128 standard bed pillows. Rather than feed an elephant - we made beer. Beer is historically the best use of hops. But who knows what we’ll do next time. Those canoes won’t sink themselves. ABV: 7.9%
Illuminaut IPA w/ Moonraker & Varietal w/ Luminosa & HBC 586
In 2021, a most extravagant seasonal 3-Way IPA took flight, a collaboration between Moonraker, Varietal and Fort George. A lot can happen in two years, but best friends are forever. Illuminaut, a new, lusciously feathered Fresh Hop IPA, is a new collaboration project with our old friends. Fresh, bright and fruity, we packed this beer with so much Fresh Luminosa that it’s essentially illuminated from within. ABV: 6.75%
Rock, Paper, Cascade - pale ale w/ Cascade
These hops were harvested in the morning and loaded into our HopBacks by 3PM. Rock, Paper, Cascade is a Pale Ale with a simple grain bill and a smattering of Cascade Cryo to balance the abundance of bold, herbal Fresh Hop Flavor. An aromatic, lightly bitter Pale with a bright, crisp finish. ABV: 5%
