Hop Union Hop School

[Geistbier]

I just got back late last night and I'll have a few posts about the experience, as per BDawg's orders. He did a great job hooking us up with where to buy some Russian River. I'll be posting the updates to this thread. The school was a great experience and I would recommend going to it if you can afford it.

Great seeing you, Geist!

I went last year... It's a killer deal if you can get to Yakima.

I was going to try to go this year but it fell at the same time I had a trip to Michigan planned. I'll try to get there next year

It must have smelled great there.

I recognize many of the hop processing and harvesting equipment from Mike Rowe's "Dirty Jobs" show.

I think a see a photo or two of BrewTat in there as well or maybe his doppelganger?
If it is him, he has lost a bit of weight and now has long blond hair.
Or may be that is not a kilt in photo #72?
I usually see plaid and figure it must be a kilt.
