Somewhere near Northport..What's going on in Northport? It's now becoming a spot to buy and develop libations! Also heard Larry is entering the Wine business (say it aint so!!) in Northern Michigan..

That and "grass-roots" type home gardens. Or perhaps we should all grow "Victory (hops) Gardens", for the greater good. Piggybacking Todd's BTW: this is the first year for my hop garden - they are very pretty but I understand it will be a few years before I actually get to taste them.

I've heard a whisper of a 20 acre hop plot that one brewer is putting in and another group investing in the equipment to process. Nothing quote worthy yet but it seems obvious that control of supply is a great way to set yourself apart in the coming years. What will happen if price points get defined by those with vertical integration and those without? Thin edge of the wedge I’d say, Stan.
