Reached while traveling in Europe this week, Greg Koch confirmed that True Craft is dead. \u2018That hasn\u2019t been active for some months,\u2019 Koch said. \u2018It was an idea that never came to fruition.\u2019\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Poor Cascade, hanging out with Old Man Fuggle <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/f17A1oNeoN\">pic.twitter.com\/f17A1oNeoN<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Em (@PintsandPanels) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PintsandPanels\/status\/1144660482135117824?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 28, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>2) I love this cartoon from Em Sauter, but I wouldn\u2019t be a proper hop geek if I didn\u2019t point out that \u201cold man\u201d is a bit confusing here because only female hop plants produce cones.
