Budding Development




Forbidden Peak Brewery is excited to announce a budding development on the brewing front - a new hops connection in Eastern Washington! When we aren't planning brew events or adventuring around the globe, our never ending quest continues to craft the perfect beers.


Top brew consultant Papa Rob recently struck up a wonderful friendship with Sweet Lew & Carolyn and their recent harvest of Willamette hops, located outside of the Tri Cities. The Brew Crew spent the better part of two weekends hand picking and sorting the highest quality buds, completely drying the fresh buds on the company ping pong table, and vaccuum sealing the crop for storage throughout the winter brewing months.









FPB is looking forward to continuing this partnership with Sweet Lew Farms, and we can't wait for planting and harveting seasons next year! After a few test runs with the new crop, we hope to have fresh Lew & Carolyn Brew samples available later this fall.

We also must thank our Cascade hops suppliers from the great silver state of Nevada- Mike & Marie and Ziggy & Barb! With hop shortages around the globe we know the importance of these friendships and are truly lucky to be involved with such generous people.
