Bit of a latergram, but hey… we’re about science, not time.
A couple weeks ago, we took a trip to JGL Shepherd Farms, one of Saskatchewan’s hop farm.
There’s something pretty cool about seeing an ingredient you usually encounter as a pellet actually growing in a field as vines.
We spent the day learning about how hops are grown here, what goes into producing and harvesting them, and what it means to grow one of brewing’s most important ingredients right here on the prairies.
We left with a better understanding of the process and plenty of fresh hops for a brew the following day.
We’ll share more from the trip soon, some videos and some b**rs!
Thanks, JGL Shepherd Farms, for the opportunity!
