Each summer Flatwater Farms harvests the hops from the fields which are then used to flavor River Saint Joe's organic beers, ciders, and beverages (even sometimes the food!). We take pride in being an organic farm and brewery where the growing process matters as much as the end result in your glass.
Join us Sunday September 24th from 12-4pm as we celebrate that achievement and our process of "plant-to-pint" at our 2nd Annual Hop Harvest Festival and the launch of this year's Harvest Fresh Ale--a wet-hopped beer made only during the harvest.
The afternoon will be a celebration of beer, summertime, and good harvest! Check out our full list of events, games and activities below!
We are selling tickets to the festival at four levels:
Prost! Ticket - Includes a Harvest Fresh Ale or Oktoberfest, a BBQ meal (vegetarian options available), and a souvenir glass
