Get Away to Hop Country USA
What makes Yakima such a unique craft beer destination?
You won't find a hop country and craft beer experience like this anywhere else in the U.S. precisely because the Yakima Valley is hop country USA. A Yakima Valley beercation takes you to the heart of one of the most important hop growing regions in the world. Our hop growers keep the beer industry brewing and our brewers showcase innovation at the tap. At the root of it all, this is hop farming country, so the Yakima Valley's kicked back and creative craft breweries take their inspiration from the field to produce truly exceptional brews.
The Yakima Valley is world renown for our fertile volcanic infused soil, where we grow more than 75% of our nation's hops. Don't forget to make your first stop the Yakima Valley Visitor Information Center where you can find more information and plan your stops with one of our travel consultants.
