Resilient Ale | Farming Hops in Washington's Yakima Valley

More than half of the country's hops are cultivated in the Yakima Valley, WA. It's a unique geographic region that accommodates hop agriculture with a dry, desert-like climate and a summer water supply from the Cascade Mountain Range. However, even mountains as grand as the Cascades are more frequently experiencing lower than average snowpack, making water-dependent farmers rethink their operations. One such farm is CLS, a fifth-generation family farm in the heart of the Yakima Valley. Precision irrigation, energy-efficient kilns, and new varietal development are among just a few of the ways that CLS is proactively becoming more sustainable and securing the future of your precious beer. Thanks to the Desmarais family for their hospitality, we had a fun and insightful time! Special thanks to CLS for some awesome harvest footage.
