We at Whistle Hop are thrilled to present our first annual Pollinator Palooza festival!

Join us in our fields and gardens from 2-8pm on June 26th to celebrate the smallest and most vital parts of the beer we make- pollinators! Without their hard work we’d never be able to craft the extraordinary array of flavors we brew, but they need our help to continue the important work they do. Come learn from expert bee-keepers and habitat conservationists about how you can support these little miracle workers in your own homes and gardens, and be part of helping us ensure there’s plenty of delicious beer to enjoy for generations to come!
