The Fresh Hop Ale Festival is a non-profit organization whose goal is to present one of the country's top 10 beer festivals, celebrate the Yakima Valley's hops, and support Yakima county based arts and science organizations.
The Fresh Hop Ale Festival (FHAF) was created by Allied Arts of Yakima in 2003. Conceived as a fundraiser for the arts, the Yakima FHAF was an unlikely catalyst for the emerging craft beer explosion. At the festival’s inception, “wet hop” or “fresh hop” beers were almost unheard of. The original lineup of beers included less than 10 breweries
Today, the Fresh Hop Ale Festival continues to be held in Yakima Washington, the heart of hop country. Hosting more than 70 breweries, wineries, and cideries along with seven thousands guests, it is recognized by numerous beer publications as one of the nation's best beer festivals.
