Hopworks Urban Brewery will host the world's first Salmon-Safe IPA Festival on Saturday, August 25th and has just revealed the beer list. Each of 22 participating breweries have committed to making hop-forward beers with ingredients that are certified as Salmon-Safe and help protect our planet.More from a press release: 

Salmon-Safe is an ecolabel certification that works with farmers and developers to reduce watershed impacts through third-party accountability. Beers in the Salmon-Safe IPA Festival are brewed with ingredients sourced from farms committed to protecting clean water and biodiversity in Northwest agricultural watersheds, which are essential for native fish populations.

 

The Salmon-Safe IPA Festival will be divided into two sessions. Session #1 is an all-ages session that runs from 12-4 pm, and Session #2 is 21+ and runs from 5-9 pm. Each ticket package costs $25 and comes with 10 drink tickets, an order of HUB's world-famous pretzels, a HUB 10th anniversary chalice, and a raffle ticket for prizes from various Salmon-Safe certified businesses. Each session has only 400 tickets available and the event is expected to sell out. All proceeds from this event benefit the environmental nonprofit Salmon-Safe.

In between sessions, HUB has lined up engaging panel discussions with Salmon-Safe certified partners to discuss why Salmon-Safe certification matters and how breweries and farmers are working together to keep our waterways and our planet healthy. Panelists include Christian Ettinger (Hopworks), Thomas Bleigh (Widmer), John Glick (Worthy), Blake Crosby (Crosby Hop Farm), Gayle Goschie (Goschie Farms), and Phil Neumann (Mainstem Malt).
