FORT GEORGE DIVES INTO HOP WATER
You may only now be hearing about hop water, a beer alternative made largely by craft breweries.
The craze started about five years ago and is now a multimillion-dollar niche fueled by major players in the beer industry, including Sierra Nevada, Lagunitas and Revolution.
On the North Coast, Pelican Brewing based in Pacific City was the first to can hop water. Now Astoria’s biggest brewery has entered the market.
