Three taproom-only Fresh Hop beers, live music, local vendors, and fall fun for all ages
Castle Danger Brewery will celebrate the hop harvest with Fresh Hop Fest on Saturday, October 17, 2026, from 11 a.m.–6 p.m. at its downtown Two Harbors taproom. The free, all-ages festival will feature three exclusive Fresh Hop beers, live music, barbecue, local vendors, and family-friendly activities.
Brewed with just-picked hops, this year’s taproom-only releases include Fresh Hop Pale Ale with Strata Hops, Fresh Hop Mosaic IPA, and Fresh Hop Hazy IPA with Krush Hops. These limited releases capture the bright, vibrant character of hops at their freshest, offering guests a taste of harvest season and a chance to try all three and pick their favorite.
“Fresh Hop Fest is a chance to celebrate the harvest and share what makes these beers so special,” said Caleb Knudsen, Castle Danger Brewery’s Taproom Events Coordinator. “We’re excited for guests to try three different Fresh Hop beers, learn more about the hops behind them, and spend a fall day at the taproom with live music and activities for the whole family.”
