Where in the beer world (08.03.17)?

Hop field

Hops - what variety?We haven’t played this game in a while. Probably because nobody plays any more. But the rules are the same. If you think you know where this photo was taken leave a comment.

Bonus points if you can name the variety of hops growing.

    • I guess this means I won’t be posting photos of second-year Simcoes (across the way from where the Mt. Angel abbey brewery will be) in Oregon.

      But everything in Oregon is looking more mature/robust than the field in this photo.

  1. First image is Mt. Adams in Yakima Valley. I’ll guess the hop variety as a humulus lupulus neomexicanus variety.

  2. The photo is from Aucutt Farms just south of Novelty, Mo. I think Kirksville (population 17,500, home of Truman State) is the closest good-size town. John Reinke has planted a half acre of Cascade on land his family has farmed since the mid-19th century. Kind of proof of concept.
