Picked up a couple more rhizomes to fill out my hop field! As long as these make it the field will be made up up 2x Centennial, 2x Chinook, 2x Columbus, and 2x Willamette

Chinook, Columbus, and a hint of Centennial hops grown at home in 2023. Enjoy this delightful pale ale which wraps up the first hop harvest in western New York for White Whale Brewing! Grown local. Brewed local. Drink local. Cheers!

Hey bud, we have hops!!

After starting the hops in pots inside while waiting for warm weather to arrive, the hops were then planted in the ground.

After a couple weeks they started to climb to the top of the trellis!

This summer was slow on the brewing side of things but it was a busy time trying to be a hop farmer!

Decided to try my hand at growing some homegrown hops. Started with several rhizomes and put a small trellis up in the backyard

Christmas came early!!

Excited to try and replicate Pliny the Elder which I was fortunate enough to enjoy on draft at Russian River while on my honeymoon.
