I finally have a minute post some pix from yesterday’s hop farm visits! We started our day out smelling some amazing Simcoe hops at Carpenter. Then it was off to Segal for their always tasty lunch, hospitality and to inspect this year’s aromatic Tangier hops. We wrapped up our day at Perrault where we rubbed more stellar Simcoe and had a lovely visit with the family. This year’s hop crop is looking and smelling great!

Started our day yesterday at Crosby Farms selecting this year’s Amarillo, one of the main hops in Pliny and Blind Pig. Had a fantastic lunch and beers at Pfriem in Hood River on our beautiful drive to Yakima. Our first stop in the Yakima valley is always Bale Breaker! More breweries than hop farms yesterday but back at it today. Stay tuned for more pix from hop selection 2024!
