What we will do for beer


Last night that meant getting sticky and itchy at Hopworks Urban Brewery with eight or so fellow beer lovers with a couple hours on their hands.
Behind the brewery lies a two year old patch of Cascade and Willamette hops which were ready for their first harvest.   
After a pleasant afternoon of picking, chatting, and enjoying beer the result is estimated to be enough to brew two batches in the brewery’s 30-gallon system. 
And now the wait, hopefully a short wait, until we're able to taste the fruits of our labors.
