End of the Celebration

My friend Dave stopped by the other evening, just in time to have the last glass of our Celebration ale. I'm glad he got the chance to taste it.

This means there's one empty keg. This is a problem that needs to be addressed.

Hop Crop

These are the first shoots from my 2006 hops season. They are the Mt. Hood hops I planted in late spring last year. No cones last year, hopefully this year will be different.

Hops

Good story in the New York Times about the use of hops in brewing over the years. Thanks to Robert for passing this along.
