With the arrival of autumn, BC breweries are releasing a variety of fall-themed beers.<\/p>\n

Here is a sampling of some autumnal beer styles to look for from your local brewery or to seek out on a fall getaway.<\/span><\/h4>\n

How Fresh Can You Get?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Each autumn, beer lovers await the arrival of a very special style of beer. Fresh hop (or wet hop) beers are highly anticipated because they can only be produced once a year during the hop harvest. Brewers work with nearby farms or hop distributors to get hops fresh from the harvest and into their brew kettles within 24 hours of picking them. The resulting fresh hop beers showcase bright, grassy flavours and a distinctly fresh quality that isn’t present in dried hops. However, the volatile flavour compounds in these beers break down quickly, so fresh hop beers should be refrigerated and consumed immediately.<\/p>\n
