Tonight’s brew comes with a side of community impact! 🍺🤝🎼

Join us at the Ballard taproom for Gratituesday from 5:00 PM – 9:00 PM as we raise a pint in support of Seattle Pro Musica!

The very first fresh hop brew of the season has officially landed! 🍺💦

We just tapped City Lights: Luminosa Fresh Hopped Crispytown at both our Ballard + Downtown Seattle taprooms! Infused with wet, aromatic Luminosa hops fresh off the farm this week, this small-batch lager is bright, crisp, and wildly delicious. But because it’s a tiny batch, it won’t last long. Get a pint while you can!

Speaking of getting up close with the harvest... Will you be among the lucky group of beer fans joining on the Fresh Hop Field Trip bus? 🌳🚌💨

Want to taste beer this fresh straight from the source? Join us on Saturday, September 12th for the 2026 Fresh Hop Field Trip to Yakima Valley! We’re taking a lucky group of beer lovers behind the scenes for:

🚜 Exclusive tours of hop fields & processing facilities at Roy Farms, Bale Breaker Hop Farm, & Single Hill Brewing
🍺 Fresh hop beers flowing all day long on the bus & at local spots
😋 Breakfast bagels, a picnic lunch + legendary tamales from Los Hernández
🚌 Stress-free round-trip coach transport from Ballard

Nothing beats the aroma of un-kilned, fresh-off-the-vine hops landing on the brew deck. If you could smell our brewhouse right now… you’d never want to leave!

This batch kicks off the most exciting time of year in the Pacific Northwest: FRESH HOP SEASON!

The team got straight to work this morning unloading bags our very first run of 2026 fresh Strata hops from the legends at Coleman Agriculture, brought to us by our great friends at Indie Hops LLC.

We have a massive lineup of fresh hop brews dropping all throughout September, but why just drink the hops when you can see where the magic grows?

If you need us, we’ll be like Sarah K.: Out on the water soaking up every last drop of this season! 🍻☀️🐶

As the afternoon sun starts setting just a little earlier over the Cascades, we’re officially saying a fond farewell to our Summer IPA. From lake days and mountain hikes to backyard barbecues and patio hangs, this award-winning brew was the ultimate companion for an unforgettable PNW summer.

While it’s always bittersweet to see the Summer IPA wind down, the changing seasons bring brand-new flavors to your glass and late summer adventures!

TOMORROW (Friday), we’re launching our newest seasonal IPA release at both our Ballard + Downtown Seattle taprooms: Life On Mars Red IPA (6.5% ABV) 🚀🌱

Pouring a brilliant, deep ruby with notes of resinous pine, sweet berry, and bright orange, it’s a bold, multi-dimensional IPA crafted for crisp late-summer evenings and cool fall nights ahead.

Keep an eye out for 12oz 6-packs of Life On Mars in frosty coolers at your local grocery store, bottle shop, or favorite beer bar!

Thanks again for sharing this amazing shot, Sarah K.!
