What is Hop Madness?

Hop Madness 2008 is a celebration of hops and their role in beer. Homebrewers come from all over the country to enjoy all that hops can offer. From brewing hop harvest ales to touring hop farms in active harvest, homebrewers can revel in all of the madness that is Hops!

Hop Madness is a 21 and older event. A valid ID is required.

When, Where, and How?

The Hop Madness festival will be held on August 30th & 31st from noon to noon at the Willamette Mission State Park just north of Salem. We will be camping at the Lake B camp area.

What to bring?

Bring your chairs, tables, tents, sleeping bags, shade (canopies) and a little firewood and everything else you wish to make your stay enjoyable (homebrew, sodas, milk or juice for the kids, etc.). Its always nice to bring some snacks to share around the camp.
