Denver Beer Co. to Host Fourth Annual ‘Hop Swap’
Local brewer to pass out American Cascade hop plants for Denverites to grow in their own backyards
WHAT: Denver Beer Co. will host its fourth annual Neighborhood “Hop Swap” on May 22, 2014. During the swap, Denver Beer Co. will hand out traditional American Cascade hop plants for Denverites to grow in their own backyards. The hop starters from Summit Plant Labs are well suited to grow in Colorado’s Front Range climate.
Once the hops mature in the fall, Hop Swap participants will bring their hop harvest back to the brewery where they will be used in a true “local” brew. Hop Swap farmers will have the opportunity to help Denver Beer Co. brewers craft a traditional American Pale Ale made with their own hops. Once the Hop Swap beer is ready for drinking, Hop Swap farmers will be invited in to pick up a complimentary growler of their home-grown Hop Swap Ale.
WHO: Denver Beer Co. invites anyone with a small plot of land, vertical space, and a love of craft beer to participate in the Hop Swap.
WHERE &
WHEN: Thursday, May 22, 2014 from 4:00pm to 8:00 pm Denver Beer CO. 1695 Platte St Denver, CO 80202
HOW: Denver Beer Co. will distribute 250 hop plants on a first come, first served basis during the Hop Swap.
WHY: Creating a true community-grown beer with hops from Denver gardens is the highlight of our year.
