On August 23, 2023, aviation-themed FlyteCo Brewing and their pilots-turned-brewery owners took flight in a small passenger plane from Denver to Billy Goat Hop Farm in Southwest Colorado. After retrieving the fresh hops, they turned around and headed back to Denver to add to the brew kettle – a whirlwind five hours.
It results in the freshest wet hop beer a beer lover could ask for. (As you probably know, fresh hop harvest season takes place in late summer where brewers have a once-a-year opportunity to make beer with fresh, rather than dried, hops.)
FlyteCo Brewing will release the beer on September 8.
Here are some photos from the mad dash to get the fresh hops:
