Hops and Beer < Craft Brew Trail - Breweries, Cideries & Distilleries

Raise a Glass in the Home of the Hops

The Yakima Valley is the heart of the Northwest craft beverage scene. After all, where would the craft beer industry be without Yakima Valley hops? Minutes from generations-old hop farms, our local brewers take full advantage of calling the premier hop growing region in the world home. This is the place to immerse yourself in an unmatched craft beer culture. So, plan your hop country adventure and meet the makers right here where we grow your beer.

Hop Country Craft Brew Trail

The Yakima Valley is where hop growers and brewers rub shoulders in the field and in the taproom. Some of our brewers are hop growers themselves. This means that innovation in producing exceptional hops, including exciting, experimental varieties fuels creativity in the breweries. We get to taste that innovation at the tap! Come raise a glass at the source!

What We Pour

Yakima Valley brewers love to experiment and many of their experimental craft beers are only available on tap at the breweries. Each brewery also serves up their house specialties and signature, seasonal craft beers on rotation. So, tour more than a dozen breweries around Yakima and sample everything from Northwest-inspired double IPAs, hazy pale ales and fruity sours to earthy, dark lagers, barrel aged stouts, fresh and classic lagers and wild, fruit-infused ales. Don't forget the local cideries and distilleries!
