Hops!

my hop shoots began emerging last week! a welcome sign of Spring for sure. this year I built a bigger trellis to support them, as the ones I had last year blew over twice! I was still able to salvage and get about 3oz of the Glacier variety. I brewed with them but it wasn’t enough as I later found out. Looking forward to a harvest ale this year, and hopefully getting some Cascades as well. Four years and not a single cone from them… !!
