Where in the beer world?

Think you know where in the beer world this photo was taken?

(It is from the northern hemisphere, so obviously not what you’d call current.)

Please leave your answer as a comment.

  1. Steve – The majority yes, but New Zealand produces several varieties Americans use. Plus a good source of organic hops.

    Chad – Wrong time zone.

    • Steve – Because the seasons are flipped the hop harvest has just concluded in the southern hemisphere.

  2. Ahh… Sorry Stan, my own fault for focusing on “current.” As a history buff, I figured you meant it was some point in time when hop growing was common, but now is not. My mistake — carry on!

  3. hmm wrong time zone… but makes it seem like it could be a small producer in an area different then the Pac Northwest.. I might be thinking about this too hard..

    I’m going to guess Michigan as my second choice they have a neat little growing region.. and upstate New York as my third..

    regardless, it’s a great looking photo!

    • OK, Steve. Here’s a big one. If you weren’t there in 2008 (when this picture was taken) then you’re next chance is this year.

  4. I can tell by the leaves that these hops are H. L. var. lupulus and not the native North American hops.
