Fresh Hops have arrived at Boundary Bay Brewery. Every year Boundary Bay Brewery heads to Yakima Valley on two, one-day round trip journeys for fresh hops right off the hop bine.
This year Boundary Bay brewers have brewed two fresh hop beers.
The first fresh hop release is Aloramora Fresh Hazy IPA made with Alora Hops from Golden Gate Hop Ranches in Sunnyside, Washington.
Alora Hops are a newer hop variety that Boundary Bay Brewers and customers have come to love this year.
At 6.1 ABV and 40 IBU, Aloramora Fresh Hop Hazy IPA casts a spell of fruity complexity with flavors of ripe peach, apricot, sweet melon, and zesty yuzu. A soft bitterness and smooth, juicy finish make Aloramora a potion you’ll want to savor.
It is now on tap at Boundary Bay Brewery.
The second fresh hop beer, The Journey Continues Fresh Hop West Coast IPA is made with Sultana Hops from Roza Ranch in Yakima Valley.
The Journey Continues name honors Boundary Bay Brewery’s yearly journey to Yakima Valley to create the freshest fresh hop beer possible.
Sultana Hops is distinguishable by the size of its hop cone. It was named after Sultana Ridge in Denali National Park in Alaska because of its gigantic cone size.
It is known for its pineapple, pine and citrus flavors.
Picking season for Sultana is at the end of the hop picking season. While other varieties are ready in late August and early September, Sultana tests our patience, but is well worth the wait. The Journey Continues will be on tap in early October.
