Bale Breaker Brewing Co. is honored to be the first Yakima Valley brewery to brew an official SBW beer. Fresh off the Farm IPA will be packed with farm-fresh hops, of course. A big hop aroma on a clean Pilsner malt base will showcase a few of the newest and most exciting hop varieties off their family’s hop farm.
