Great picture of hops being picked in the wild,<\/a> but it probably wouldn’t right to copy it over here. Give it a click.<\/p>\n

You gotta love a story datelined “Somewhere in Summit County”<\/strong> because the Utah location is a secret. Chris Haas of Desert Edge Brewery knows where the wild hops grow. He allows a Salt Lake City Tribune writer and photographer to come along only “as long as the exact harvesting location wasn\u2019t revealed.”<\/p>\n

More hops stuff (perhaps I should start posting these at For the Love of Hops<\/a>:<\/p>\n

– Wadworth & Co.’s<\/strong> Malt & Hops<\/a><\/em>, the first (at least as much as anybody can tell) “green hop” beer, turns 20. Michael Jackson wrote about it in 1993<\/a>. Sierra Nevada brewmaster Steve Dresler credits hop merchant Gerard Lemmens, who since retired, with telling him about the beer. It inspired Dresler to brew Sierra Nevada’s first fresh hop beer (now called Northern Hemisphere Harvest Ale<\/em>) in 1996. Today I received a press release that said 100 Oregon breweries will make a fresh hop beer (some of them will brew more than one).<\/p>\n

– Hop harvest Day 3.<\/strong> At Loftus Ranch in Yakima Valley, that is. “First N. Brewer bales coming off and first Simcoe hitting the cooling room.” Because who can’t use another hop picture?<\/a> (I swear, pictures of homegrown hops appear in my Facebook timeline every 14 minutes. Not that I’m complaining.)<\/p>\n

– Added at 4:45 p.m. (Central time).<\/strong> Green hops are go!<\/a> Because who can’t use another hop picture? In this case pictures (plural) of wet hops, about to go into the kettle. From Clive Edmed’s hop garden, in fact. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
