The Nebraska Harvest Ale Festival is Oct. 13 at Midwest Hop Producers in Plattsmouth, Nebraska, and will celebrate local hops and local beer with food, beer tastings, fall activities and music.
This event is organized by the Nebraska Craft Brewers Guild, Nebraska Extension Hop Program and Midwest Hop Producers to promote community and the hop growing and craft brewing industries.
Looking forward to fall days, crisp beers with fresh hop aromas, and gatherings with friends as the sun goes down? This unique outdoor festival will feature tastings of fresh hopped and harvest-styled brews highlighting local hop and craft brew production, local food trucks, scenic views of the largest hop yard in Nebraska, and an afternoon you won’t forget among friends.
A portion of the proceeds from this event will go to support the efforts of the Nebraska Craft Brewers Guild and the Nebraska Hop Program’s research and extension hop yard. Both of these organizations work to better the craft brewing industry in the state.
