Brouwer's Cafe showcases the fruits of the annual efforts of the Washington Hop Mob, a collective of over 50 Washington breweries that started with a shared mission of "showing that we don’t need any fancy hypeboi Triple IPA from California, our local brewers can brew our very own fancy hypeboi Triple IPAs just as well." This year, they've relaxed their stringent triple-IPA-only rule to allow any beers that are new (and specifically created for the event), have an IBU of 50+, and are "a complete expression of hop character," which should result in a much more diverse range of offerings.
