Hoppy Days Are Here Again

My hops came up and are growng nicely. This is year two for these rhyzomes. It should be a good year if early growth is an indication. These are my Cascades. Can you spot the homebrew? Hint: It's an Irish Red. This is my Centennial. You'll note that it is smaller than the Cascade; last year it didn't produce any cones. I'm hopeful that it will produce in its 2nd year. Can you spot the homebrew? Hint: Its a freshly tapped Two Hearted Ale made with 100% Centennial hops. Someone on the west coast who drives a VW should be drooling...

Your hops look great! They are responsible for mankind's domination of agriculture-- not corn (maize) as originally thought. Hops Rule! I expect they will be responsible for your next great home brew! Well done!!
