Spring, yes, glorious spring.
Lots of you out there have purchased hop
rhizomes, and that look like the picture next to this text
real soon. Wonderful thing, hop vines. They are so vigorous
and strong. Watching them grow in the spring is amazing. I
can go to work in the morning, come back and I swear they
have grown a foot taller! One day I will have a beer garden
(outside my own Brewpub of course), and I want to have hops
growing all over the pergola covering the seating area. During
the hot summer months the foliage would provide all the shade
you could ask for, and following that, delicious smelling
hop cones hanging down above your head....
I digress.
Welcome to the web site if you haven't been
here before. Hope to see you in the store. Come on in and
lets talk about making some beer, especially before it gets
too hot out there! Don't forget, you don't have to worry about
the heat when you make wine, and there are a lot of fruits
that are going to be ripe soon. Wine kits are always available
at the store, and I still have a few Selection Limited Edition
Kits around if you want to grab one. Or maybe you want one
of the new Chocolate Raspberry Port kits. I'm bottling mine
tomorrow.
See you soon.
