Head to the Yakima Valley for a craft beer and hops experience you just can't find anywhere else. The Yakima Valley is U.S. hop country. The combination of the hop industry and craft breweries make Yakima a beer lover's destination. Yakima Valley hop growers keep the U.S beer industry brewing, but it's Yakima's craft beer scene that's hopping! It's home to the only true, fresh from the source craft beer trail in the country. It's where you can wander through the hop fields and then raise a glass at breweries and tap houses where you're likely to find the brewer ready to kick back and share the passion behind the craft.
