Some might think of Chinook as a simple hop. An afterthought. #oldnews Like, it HAS been around since 1985. But if you’ve been paying attention, some of your favorite brewers have been sprinkling it in your IPAs and Pales and Stouts and Reds – forever, every year, and more and more these days. In fact, some of the most award winning IPAs in our region have substantial amounts of Chinook in them – ever heard of Bodhi? How about Breakside IPA? Pizza Port? Pfriem IPA? What about us? You’ve heard of us, right? So yeah, it’s kinda a big deal. And this lot from Roy Farms in Moxee has all those classic notes of grapefruit and pine – but also pineapple & spruce, characteristics often observed specifically in Roy Farm’s lots. Don’t underestimate this old timer – its staying power and prominence in PNW beer will keep it around for years to come. Papa always said, “wet is as wet does.”
