Some slides from our hop harvest this year. Our small arbor is currently producing enough Cascade, Riwaka, Crystal, Chinook, and E’desem hops to produce 20 barrels of fresh-hop beer a year. Not bad! Wednesday, we brewed “Estate I.P.A”, a 100% Ohio-grown beer mashed with a base of @westbranchmalts pale 2-row malt, and @hausmalts rye and caramel oats. Houndsback Hops Centennial as the bittering addition, our fresh hops at 20 minutes and whirlpool, and Knaus Hops Chinook at whirlpool. After fermentation, we’ll dry hop this beer with @morning_dew_hop_farm Chinook, and possibly one other variety TBD. So it’s definitely a cross-state, team effort sort of beer. 🍻 Estate I.P.A. should be on draft in mid-October, so keep your eyes peeled for that! 🍻
Also, for the first time this year, we fresh-froze about half of our hop harvest, which will go in a coolshipped, mixed-ferm saison in the coming months. Definitely inspired by our friend Evan @planbeefarmbrewery ‘s recent 100% estate-grown & coolshipped brew. 🤩 🙌

It’s hop harvest at the brewery! This year instead of picking by hand for two days straight, we drove our harvest up to @foxwoodhops in Logan, Ohio, where they helped us pick them with an actual hop picker. #progress ! 😹 Tomorrow, these will go into a batch of 100% Ohio-grown I.P.A., joining forces with barley, rye, and oat malts from @westbranchmalts and @hausmalts, and uber-local, organic Chinook hops from @morning_dew_hop_farm YESSSS! 🤘🏿🤘🏾🤘🏽🤘🏼🤘🏻 🍻🍻🍻 #farmhouseaf #localaf #locavore #localbeer #freshhop #harvestale #athenscraftbeer #brewedonthebikeway @porknpickles @ohiocraftbeer @ohiobrewweek

Some photos of our employee appreciation meal last night. Everyone has done such a great job, and been a huge team player during this stressful and challenging time! And we HIGHLY appreciate Mike’s willingness to bring back lobster from his Maine trip and to cook for everyone! 😻

Box is now available online at littlefishbrewing.com/shop/ ! 🍻 $40 + shipping, anywhere in Ohio, or free pick-up in the taproom! 6 x 32 oz crowlers (3 each) of the following beers, sanitary-filled and CO2-purged for maximum shelf-life: •Lambos & Caviar, ultra-smooth hazy I.P.A mashed with a base of Ohio-grown barley malt, and flaked oats. Hopped in the kettle with Michigan Cashmere, dry-hopped with more Cashmere and Equinox. 7.25% abv. • Everett’s Ale: Riding the line between session I.P.A. and regular-strength at 5.5% abv, this super-crushable I.P.A. is brewed with a base of Ohio malts, plus some flaked oats.
