Hop harvest happens once a year, sending brewers to the Pacific Northwest to choose the hops they’ll use for months to come. We certainly do that—“hop selection” for all our beers—but Celebration Fresh Hop IPA gets its own 800-mile road trip through Washington and Oregon to hand-pick the ultimate fresh hops for citrus, pine, and floral flavors at their most intense.
Once the hops come down, we race the harvest home to brew Celebration IPA within a few weeks. That’s the core of fresh hop beers: brew right away for maximum hop aroma and flavor.
Every sip of Celebration IPA captures the vivid flavor that only just-picked hops can deliver. It’s a once-a-year intensity that makes this beer the defining taste of the holidays. Watch the video below and follow our brewers into the fields where they obsessively craft this icon of IPA. For more than four decades, it’s the holiday beer to start the celebration.
Celebration IPA bursts with bold citrus and pine flavors from freshly picked hops, balanced by a rich caramel malt backbone. The result is a full-bodied yet crisp beer with a lingering hoppy finish that makes it the perfect holiday beer to enjoy all season long.
