Bale Breaker Green Rush Fresh Hop IPA is a seasonal West Coast-style India Pale Ale brewed at Bale Breaker Brewing Company, located on their family's fourth-generation hop farm in Yakima, Washington. Every September brings the "Green Rush" — the annual influx of brewers and beer lovers to the Yakima Valley in pursuit of the finest freshly harvested hops.

This beer is brewed in collaboration with the legendary Russian River Brewing Company, whose owners forged a friendship with the Bale Breaker team during annual hop selection visits to Loftus Ranches, the family farm. The result is a fresh hop IPA that showcases what it means to brew with hops just minutes from the field — at Bale Breaker, it takes only four minutes for freshly picked hops to travel from the picking machine to the brewery kettle.

Green Rush features freshly picked homegrown Simcoe® hops alongside Citra® Cryo and Krush (HBC 586), delivering vibrant aromas of grapefruit, peach, mango, and resin. The malt bill uses 2-Row and Flaked Rice for a clean, hop-forward base. It clocks in at 6.9% ABV and 55 IBUs. Available in 16oz cans, sold in 4-packs. Named one of Hop Culture's "Best Beers We Drank in 2024."
