Hops Workshop

[Ocean State Hops]

Hi All,

Sorry if this is a re-post, I got an error message the first time.

Glen Fuller from Rising Sun Farms out in Colorado is hosting/
coordinating a Brew Class and Hops Workshop in a couple of weeks:
http://www.coloradoorganichops.com/?page_id=157. It looks like a good
time with some interesting speakers and workshops, and got me thinking
- why can't we do something similar in the northeast? It seems to me
that there are enough people interested in hops around here that a
similar workshop could be planned. We could center the whole thing
around a small hop farm in New England, similar to Rising Sun Farms.

Does anyone know of a similar event in the northeast? If not, would
anyone be interested in coordinating one? Just a thought...

Matt

Heather Darby from UVM emailed me today and told me the the date for
the hops conference is actually the 20th of August not the 24th and
I'm guessing its at Gene L'Etoiles' North Star farms in Northfield
Mass like the last conference .

I hope they also give a presentation on brewing grains (Heather is a
Small Gains Expert) because North Star Farms is growing Barley for
Valley Malt in Hadley Mass.

Yup, Friday, August 20th, hosted by Gene and Bonnie L'Etoile at Four
Star Farms in Northfield, MA. Save the date! I'll post a brochure
with more details soon.

In other exciting news, we're going to be having our 5th Annual Crops
and Soils Field Day on Thursday, August 5th at Borderview Farm in
Alburgh, VT. Borderview Farm hosts the majority of our agricultural
research, including our newly constructed hopyard with our (very!)
recently planted variety trial. Mark Magiera from Bobcat Cafe will be
there to talk about grains and hops from a brewer's perspective.
Should be a good show. Check out the link below for more details:

Hope to see you there!
