- Walk into any brewery or grocery store today and you will see the letters IPA everywhere - that intense, tropical beer has become Oregon’s style. That wasn’t always the case. It turns out that a variety of hop bred in Oregon sparked an entirely new way of making beer and a whole new tradition of American ales.
Nearly every commercial hop grown in the U.S. comes from Oregon, Washington, and Idaho, and the United States accounts for nearly half the hops grown in the world. In beer, hops provide a bitterness that adds structure and balances the sweetness of the barley, as well as fruity, floral, or spicy flavors and aromas. They also act as an antimicrobial agent, which is why breweries across Europe started using them 900 years ago.
Through decades of research, brewing and changing palettes, Pacific Northwest hops have become one of the defining flavors of the region, helping to establish a truly American style of beer and earning Oregon a spot in the global history of this most ancient of beverages.

Wow! This had some great interviews and beautiful shots! Great work OPB!
Super informative and I now know why I love locally brewed IPA's!
When my great grandparents moved to land east of Springfield up the Mckenzie to their land donation claim, they were next to the property I now own. My property was at least by oral stories a pirate hops farm. It was unclaimed land from the Oregon land donation act, a hops farm, which my great grand parents bought out from the hops growers by purchasing it from the state of Oregon.
Great piece featuring some great people! Cheers!
The Fresh Hops Fest sounds really fun.
I live in Harrod, Ohio. We have a Pork Rind Fest.
