Schooner Exact Brewing invites you to join them for the 3rd Annual Hop Field Trip. Visit Virgil Gamache Farms in Toppenish for an exclusive tour and learn how hops are grown and harvested. Tour the hop fields, chop down some hops, see the processing facility, and then brew a fresh-hop ale right there on the farm.
The day ends with a lovely gourmet dinner on the farm (menu below) prepared by Schooner Exact’s chef, Joshua Beckham. Then you board the bus and return to Seattle.

I went on the first-ever Hop Field Trip with Schooner Exact and had a blast. The price might make you raise an eyebrow, but considering all you get for your money, it’s really quite a deal. It’s a rare opportunity, one that every hop lover needs to experience at least once. A bucket list item for beer lovers. The hop harvest is magical and you’ll feel fulfilled once you’ve seen it up close and personal.
