Tacos & Beer: Fueling the Yakima Valley's Hop Harvest
Briefly

It takes a lot of great tacos to make great beer. During harvest, Yakima Valley hop farms invite brewers to their ranches to hand-select hop varieties, treating them to tacos and tamales every bit as memorable as just-picked Citra hops.
Segal Ranch started its taco party tradition in 2010 to help sell the story, and hop quality, of the family-run farm. By mixing tacos with business, it formed lasting relationships with brewers.
Seeing the farm up close, tacos in hand, turned a transaction into a lasting relationship. News spread, and soon Russian River, Allagash, Bell's, and other breweries were heading to Segal Ranch.
The salsa is warm with a low-simmering heat. It’s just one component to Segal Ranch's annual harvest tradition, a taco party that fosters community among brewers and farmers.
