Right around the corner are Saazlaan and Eastkentlaan. I'm surprised nobody picked up on the mini hop poles in the background. Yep, it is Poperinge.

The "Laan" looks a bit Dutch / Belgian to me. So what the hell, I'll go for Poperinge too. I’m guessing this actually is a trick question, and it’s not Hallertau.

I was just this morning working on a post about hops. Here in the great NW, we're hop crazy right now as dozens of fresh-hop beers are just hitting the market. So I wrote this: "The first hops were cultivated domestically in Germany in the 8th century near Hallertau." I don't know if this sign has anything to do with the location of those first hop fields (I've never been to Germany), but the resonance is there. This is odd.

Where dreams become a reality and little men in hop-like suits dance around the streets in a parade three times per day. Ahh.... Hallertau land.....some day kids, some day.
