A few years ago I saw an American couple looking down and discussing a basket full of hops, wondering what they were. I plucked a cone (I think the statute of limitations is up, but maybe not internationally) and crushed it in my hand to let them smell it. The realization was fun to see on their faces when they recognized the aroma.

I have a similar photo to prove it, except a bunch of us are standing inside. More specifically, because it's fun to out-Jay Jay whenever I can, it's the Deutsche Hopfenmuseum in Wolnzach, Hallertau, Bavaria. An aside: It's pretty darn cool to stand inside a giant hop cone.

Nice. Caption: Pay no attention to the man behind the cone? Okay, maybe not. It’s the Hop equivalent to the walk-thru human heart at the Museum of Science & Industry in Chicago! Nice.
