Episode 57 - Fresh Hop Happiness

It’s fresh hop beer season, so in Episode 57 we discuss what fresh hop is all about and provide some examples to try.  Denny tells about his adventures in Bend, OR visiting Boneyard Beer and tasting some great beer in Eugene, OR with Hop Valley and Ninkasi Brewing.  Find out how you can be entered into a contest and win some prizes.  We encourage you to participate in our listener tasting notes segment in the next episode by picking up a bottle of the Elysian Dark O’ The Moon Pumpkin Stout and tasting along with us.
