CoHoperative Ale (2019)

Every year on the Wednesday after Labor Day, Fort George invites local hop growers to gather their bines and bring them to the pub. The hops are picked that day - by brewers, by owners, by publicans - and brewed the next morning. We call this beer CoHoperative Ale. These hops are picked fresh and are not dried, hence the term wet or fresh hopped. Fresh hops will only last a day or so. Similar to cooking with fresh herbs vs dried herbs, the wet hops add their own unique, unblemished flavors to the beer. Come to the pub in mid-September and try a pint. And maybe next year, bring your own homegrown hops down and join in the CoHoperative Ale.
