SATURDAY: Hoptober Freshtival is back at Boise Brewing from 12-8pm. This is Idaho's largest fresh hop beer fest and has over 60 fresh hop and seasonal beers from 30+ local and regional craft breweries. It's free to attend for people 21+. The tasting mug is $3, tokens are $3.5, or you can get a mug + 10 tokens for $35 or mug + 5 tokens for $20.

So a fresh hop beer means that it was made using hops that were harvested less than a day before the beer process began. It creates a floral or grassy taste and is less bitter than a "hoppy" beer.
