In 2007, BridgePort Brewing Company launched its first fresh hop beer: Hop Harvest Ale. Each limited edition in the seasonal series arrives in the fall, when it's harvest time for Oregon hops. For the 2013 season, the brewery followed up the prior year's foray into pilsners with a double-hopped version. For the recipe, brewmaster Jeff Edgerton used over 900 pounds of fresh hops from local farms, incorporating them into the beer at both the beginning and end of the brewing cycle.
