Harvest Ale

Well it’s the time of the year for harvesting hops and last weekend I brewed my annual batch of beer made with fresh hops (hops that haven’t been dried).  Instead of using my Cascades like the years before, I decided to buy some fresh Centennial from Southan Farms because they’re easily my favourite “C-hops”!  Nick and Kathryn were really awesome showing me around their hops fields and their installations which was pretty impressive to see in action.  Drink local and buy local ;)

hops addition by the bucket! :)
