🌿🍺 Fresh Hop Season has arrived at Idaho Pour Authority!

Our Fresh Hop Pale Ale is now on tap!

Brewed with freshly harvested Amarillo hops that went from the hop yard to the brew kettle in about 90 minutes, this b**r captures the bright citrus, floral, and tropical character that makes fresh hop season so special.

Fresh hop b**rs only come around once a year, so stop by Idaho Pour Authority and enjoy a pint while it lasts.

Cheers to harvest season! 🍻

🌿 Fresh Hop Season is Here! 🍺

There’s nothing quite like fresh hop b**r, and we’re excited to have it pouring at Pivo Peaks!

Brewed with fresh-picked Amarillo hops harvested on brew day, this b**r captures the vibrant character that only comes once a year. Expect bright notes of orange, grapefruit, apricot, and floral hop aroma with a freshness that simply can’t be replicated with dried hops.

Fresh hop b**rs are a celebration of harvest, agriculture, and local brewing—and they’re only available for a short time each year.

Come raise a pint to hop harvest and experience one of the most anticipated b**rs of the season.

🍻 Available now at Pivo Peaks—while it lasts!

🍷🍺 Join Us This Friday for a Great Cause!

This Friday, Dave and Christina from Utara Brewing will be trading the taproom for the 5th Annual Premier W**e Gala to help support Food for Our Children.

While the event celebrates outstanding w**es, we’ll be there pouring Utara craft b**r in support of an organization that works year-round to ensure local children have access to food when they need it most.

If you’re looking for a fun evening with incredible food, w**e, craft b**r, and community—all while supporting an important cause—there’s still time to join us.

🎟️ Tickets are still available online, but they’re going fast!

We’d love to see some familiar faces as we raise a glass to helping kids in our community.

Thank you for supporting local nonprofits, local businesses, and the people who make North Idaho such a special place. 🍻❤️

Have you ever wondered why some IPAs smell like fresh oranges, mangoes, pine forests, or tropical fruit?

The secret is often dry hopping.

Unlike hops added during the boil for bitterness, dry hops are added after fermentation to preserve the delicate oils responsible for incredible aroma and flavor. It’s one of the techniques that gives modern craft b**r its unmistakable hop character.

At Utara Brewing, we’ve spent countless hours experimenting with dry hop timing, temperature, contact time, and hop combinations to get the most out of every batch. It’s part science, part art, and one of our favorite parts of brewing.

We just published a new blog exploring the magic of dry hopping, biotransformation, hop creep, and why aroma is every bit as important as bitterness.

Give it a read, then stop in and experience the results for yourself—one aromatic pint at a time. 🍻

It’s one of those perfect North Idaho days that reminds us why we love this place.

Grab a seat on the patio, catch up with friends, and enjoy a fresh pint brewed right here in Sandpoint. Whether you’re in the mood for an award-winning Selkirk Vienna L***r, a crisp Drive Slow or Die Fast American L***r, or one of our hop-forward IPAs, we’ve got a b**r with your name on it.

Great weather. Great friends. Great b**r.

Sounds like a pretty good way to spend the day.

See you at Utara! 🍺

🌿 Today’s the day! 🍺

Fresh hop brew day has arrived.

While Christina and Tim are on their way to the hop yard, I’m back at the brewery watching the mash, sparge, and boil—getting everything ready for one of my favorite brewing traditions of the year.

This year’s b**r features fresh Amarillo hops, known for their bright orange, grapefruit, floral, and tropical aromas. Unlike dried hops that are processed and stored, fresh hops go straight from the bine to the brew kettle, capturing a vibrant character that only comes once a year.

One of the things that makes North Idaho so special is our proximity to hop country. Today, those hops will be harvested and infused into our wort in about 90 minutes—a luxury few breweries in the world get to experience. That incredible freshness is something you can taste in the finished b**r.

Fresh hop brewing is where agriculture and brewing come together. It’s a celebration of the farmers who grow the hops, the people who harvest them, and everyone who helps transform a living plant into a glass of b**r.

To everyone who plays a part in making this tradition possible—thank you. It truly takes a village, and I’m grateful to be a small part of it.

I can’t wait to share this year’s Fresh Hop Amarillo with you. 🍻
