Hop Valley Brewing Co. Invites Canadians to Smash Their Bitterness

— May 13, 2022 — Lifestyle
Hop Valley Brewing Co. is inviting Canadians to freeze and smash their bitterness in a new campaign. The marketing initiative pokes fun at how "hoppy and bitter" IPAs are while highlighting the brand's new revolutionary Cryogenic Hops brewing process. The new technology, according to the brand, "uses liquid nitrogen to freeze and smash hop cones to create enhanced flavors, aromas, and a less bitter, refreshingly different IPA."

Hop Valley is inviting guests to Craft Beer Market in Toronto (1 Adelaide St E) to their Smash For a Bubble Stash event. The beer company will use its cryo technology to freeze and smash an item of your choosing, "shedding any lingering bitterness." To participate, fans can simply book a time slot online to receive an exclusive VIP invite to the event. The event will also have beers, food, and Hop Valley swag bags.
