I usually don’t post about events I go to because they all tend to be the same, however last nights event at Brooklyn Brewery was a little bit different, Backyard Hops In Support Of BK Farmyards. I love to be able to help out local organizations, especially ones which share a common passion. I’ve been growing hops in my back yard for years and this event put on by the Good Beer Seal, helped showcase some local hop growers and expose a lot of folks at the event that Washington and Oregon are not the only hop growers in the US.
