Missoula’s Draught Works Brewery is holding a Fresh Hop Festival on Saturday, September 8, 2012, that sounds like a heck of a good time in support of great beer and sustainable transportation.

Volunteers will pick hops at a farm in Corvallis and teams of cyclists will rush them to the brewery for use in a fresh hop ale.  Meanwhile, back at the brewery, other volunteers will pedal away at a human powered grain mill to get 1,000 lbs of grain ready for brewing.

During the day, Draught Works will have bike helmet giveaways, bike tune-ups, a fleet of wacky bikes, bike safety demonstrations, bike Polo, raffles and live music as they work to raise the profile of sustainable transportation.

More details coming soon.
