(Denver, CO) – Another September day, another news story on a fresh hop beer coming soon. Great Divide Brewing was featured in a Denver Post story this week which covered its upcoming Fresh Hop Pale Ale. [ed: That link also showcases a video featuring Owner/Founder Brian Dunn talking fresh hops.] The new design, pictured above, (see others here) will appear on bottles to be released the week of Oct. 7-10, according to Dunn. Four batches were brewed using a total of 1,600 pounds of hops. The hop profile is not shown on the official site, Beer Advocate, or RateBeer (any help?).

In case you missed it, here is last week’s update on Great Divide’s two new Barrel-Aged beers coming out in about a week as well as our original sneak peak back in March.

Other breweries releasing fresh hop beers that we have recently covered:
• Port High Tide Fresh Hop IPA – October 1st
• Rogue Independence Hop Ale – late September
• Weyerbacher Harvest – this week
