\"Fallbrook<\/a>
Fallbrook Brewing Company’s Homegrown wet-hop pale ale<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

From the Beer Writer: <\/strong>It\u2019s that time of year again\u2014the time when brewmasters\u2019 Instagram posts clog our feeds with shot after shot of vibrant green hop-buds, fields and good-times had visiting the Pacific Northwest for the purpose of hop-selection. Yes, it\u2019s hop-harvest, and with that annual tradition comes a bounty of wet-hop beers. What are wet-hop beer? They are beers given extra hop aroma and oomph thanks to the addition of freshly harvested (or \u201cwet\u201d) whole hops. It\u2019s a magical time of year both for brewers and drinkers, but not all of the hops come from the upper-left corner of the country. Some come from within our county. Case in point, the Cascade and Galena hops used to create Fallbrook Homegrown Pale Ale<\/strong>. Coming in at 5.6% alcohol-by-volume, the beer\u2019s malt bill lends a touch of toastiness in the finish, but is dialed back enough to let the newly reaped botanicals from SD Golden Hop Farm<\/strong><\/a> shine. That operation is based in the same community as the business that nurtured this beer into thirst-quenching reality, Fallbrook Brewing Company<\/strong><\/a>. In its three years of existence, that brewery has made a point of sourcing as many ingredients as possible from in and around its namesake berg, while also pulling in brewing talent with roots in Fallbrook to help on collaboration beers.<\/p>\n

From the Brewer: <\/strong>\u201cEvery year we invite\u00a0a few individuals from\u00a0the industry to participate in\u00a0brewing our anniversary beer. The common-denominator between these individuals is a tie to Fallbrook itself. Some have lived here, some have family here and a few have graduated from Fallbrook High School. Each year the group gets bigger and the beer gets better. This year, we decided to brew a wet-hop beer using locally grown hops from SD\u00a0Golden Hop Farm. It’s a pale ale that\u00a0has a very distinctive wet-hop aroma giving\u00a0way to a\u00a0 candied-orange flavor that’s more sweet than bitter and ending\u00a0with a nice clean finish. A big thanks to all that participated in this beer. We hope you enjoy it.\u201d\u2014Chuck McLaughlin, Owner\/Brewmaster, Fallbrook Brewing Company<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
