Every year at GABF, Yakima Chief Hops holds a little side competition to bestow the coveted “Alpha King” award to the brewer with the absolute best hoppy beer.
“I’ve certainly had beers that have won Alpha King,” notes Andrew Bell of Radiant Beer Co. “I feel like most of the beers that win are in the 8-9% ABV range and are incredibly aromatic.” he continued in a video with Yakima Chief. Having had some of the winning beers myself, I agree.
2022 went to Dig This Crazy Scene from Radiant Beer in Anaheim.
A few miles away in 2023, Trevor Walls with BrewerX took the golden hop crown with Slap & Tumble.
Alpha King is this weekend, who do you think will win?
