Today, Three Magnets Brewing announced that its Self Care line of non-alcoholic beers will introduce a three-beer 2021 Fresh Hop IPA series alongside two new beers, celebrating the fresh hop harvest and “Sober October” with a new beer every week starting Monday, September 27th.
“Our mission from day one has been to develop high-quality non-alcoholic craft beer that doesn’t cut any corners, and that emphasizes the traditional brewing styles that craft beer drinkers love,” said co-owner Nathan Reilly. “Here in the Pacific Northwest – the hop capital of the world – one of those traditions includes the annual hop harvest that comes around every August.”
Reilly continued, “Many months ago, we wondered how we might dedicate production capacity at the brewery to Self Care during fresh hop season. We weren’t aware of any fresh hop non-alcoholic beers previously available, so we decided to go all-in on the idea of Self Care fresh hop IPA’s! And bigger picture, this pursuit continues our brand promise of producing the very best craft beer, made with the best ingredients, for all types of beer consumers.”
“Once a year this becomes a race, obsession, and orchestrated chaos,” said Aaron Blonden, head brewer at Three Magnets Brewing. “As a small brewery, we are infinitely flexible, which means we can be very nimble with our brewing schedule. Which works great, since the hop farms are constantly picking and testing all their varieties this time of year and allow the quality of the individual hop crops dictate their harvest schedule. Which basically means all hands on-deck, waiting by the phone until it’s go-time, and readjusting our brewing schedule on the fly.”
Blonden continued, “It’s a game we play every year, the only difference is that this year we are prioritizing our non-alcoholic offerings. And I am excited to bring this adventure to our customers, and to the non-alcoholic beer market at-large. Making folks happy and introducing new customers to the amazing experience that is a fresh hop beer, made with some of the best hops in the world is what this is all about!”
