MARK YOUR CALENDARS FOR HOPS & BREW SCHOOL 2012

 

Commercial Brewers: September 11-12, 2012

 

Home Brewers: September 13-14, 2012

 

Submerged in the heart of hop country, Hops and Brew School is an annual event offering craft brewers the opportunity to personally experience the thrill of hop harvest at Hopunion LLC. This exciting two-day event includes award-winning brewers from across the United States speaking on hop usage, recipe formulation and brewing methods. Local hop farmers are also in attendance to address the numerous growing aspects of hops -- from yields to aroma characteristics and new, up and coming proprietary varieties. Each Hops and Brew School class includes a ranch tour, where you can see the hop fields and witness hop picking, drying and baling, as well as a guided tour of Hopunion, where you will observe the receiving and warehousing of the hops. Hops and Brew School is typically held during the last week of August or first week in September. Registration forms with a complete list of dates and details will be released in March. For more information, or to be added to our interested attendees list, please contact brewschool@hopunion.com.
