Learn to put a little hop in your brew on a tour of Hop’n Blueberry Farm and Pisgah Brewing Company.

The dual hop tour takes place Saturday, Aug. 6. Tickets are $8 per person and include two beer samples. 

Pisgah Brewing Company has been producing a “wet hop” beer with fresh hops grown at Hop’n Blueberry Farm for the last three years. This unique beer only happens once per year when hops are picked and added to the brewing process at the brewery within hours after leaving the farm.

The tour begins at the farm where owner Van Burnette will share information about growing hops from the ground up.
