The August Schell Brewing Co., the second-oldest family-owned brewery in USA, brewer of Schell’s and Grain Belt, is set to release a new Fresh Hop series this fall, San Francisco Chronicle reported on August, 9.

Last fall, the August Schell Brewing Company released Fresh Hop Citra Pils as part of its Stag Series. Due to the popularity of this beer and the fun had by the Schell’s crew when making it, they’ve decided to release a fresh hop beer variety annually as a limited seasonal offering.

The Schell's Fresh Hop Pilsner Series beers will be made each year during prime hop harvesting season.

This year’s Fresh Hop beer will be a pilsner that is single hopped with the new and exciting Mosaic hop variety. This hop gives off an abundant mix of flavours and aromas to the beer, hence the name Mosaic.

Schell’s Fresh Hop will be a very limited brew, yielding 100 barrels. The beer will be packaged in 6 packs and 1/6 barrel kegs.
