The Cascade Cup is a yearly competition that allows growers from all over the US to showcase their best Cascade hops. Entries for this year’s contest are due January 5, 2024.
Cascade hops have long been an important part of craft brewing. Dating back to 2013, the HQG awards the traveling Cascade Cup to the best Cascade hops as judged by the HQG. This friendly but competitive competition among hop growers has been a fun addition to the Hop Convention.
