Sisters Fresh Hop Festival 2023

The 11th Annual Sisters Fresh Hop Festival, hosted by Three Creeks Brewing Co and Oregon Brewers Guild, will showcase Fresh Hop Beers from 20+ Oregon breweries alongside live music and food trucks at the Three Creeks Brewing Co Production Brewery & Tasting Room in Sisters, OR on September 24th from 12-6pm. In previous years, the event has raised over $10,000 for local charities. This year’s proceeds help support Ronald McDonald House Bend and Circle of Friends.

What is Fresh Hop Beer?

Beer is only considered "fresh hopped” if the hops are picked, then brewed within 24 hours. The only time it can be created is during harvest season in late summer, early fall. Think of it as an herb: Dried vs. fresh. When it's fresh, you can taste the difference. The PNW is one of the largest hop producing regions in the world, so the Sisters Fresh Hop Festival is a place to celebrate some of the world's finest fresh hop beers.

BENEFITING

Bend Ronald McDonald House

Every year, thousands of families find themselves far from home when their sick or injured children require specialized care or hospitalization. For more than three decades, our Oregon Ronald McDonald Houses have offered these families comfort, support and a beautiful “home away from home.” Every family that we host and help has the opportunity to benefit from home-cooked meals and fresh-baked cookies, activity programs and free services, beautiful indoor and outdoor play spaces and the loving support that kids (and their families) need to heal. Together, we are working to ensure that every child gets the medical care they need (with a heaping dose of love and support!), and that no family has to be separated from their sick child, regardless of where they live. Nestled at the edge of the St. Charles Medical Center campus, the Bend House has been a comforting and peaceful “home away from home” for seven families every night. With a playroom and expansive backyard featuring a basketball court, our Bend House has been a place of fun and joy during long hospital stays for thousands of families over the past two decades, and we look forward to the next 20 years of keeping families together while their children are receiving medical treatment far from home.

Lauren Olander, Chief Development Officer for Ronald McDonald House Charities of Oregon shared:

“...our role is to help provide a home away from home for families needing medical attention for their children, and providing compassionate hospitality during some of the most difficult times in a family’s life.”

Ronald McDonald House Charities are all about keeping families together. Instead of having to worry where they would stay in a town unfamiliar to them, where their next meal would come from and how to be there for family members during tragic times, the Ronald McDonald House provides a community of support filled with compassionate hospitality for the entire family.
