Dan's Crop o' Hops

We had a little errand to run up to Sally and Dan's last weekend.  We missed them, but while we were there, I snuck around to take a look at the garden.  Everything in this patch is done organically - there's a good half acre or so under cultivation.

Dan is a home brewer - I've posted on the IPA he's been perfecting over the last few years a couple of times now.  Check the "Beaver Run Brewery" label on this post or in the directory...

He grows several varieties of hops, including German and North American ones.  From the photo, it's obvious they are coming along.  He reports, " The hops are already forming their cones and should be harvested in a few weeks. Seems early. "

What the heck, here's an old photo of a past brew, taken on a fall day at their porch.  I'll be taking him up on any offers to test the new batch.
