    chicken wire works great, only real drawback is getting the vines out of the wire at the end of the season. The time to ask for help is during haarvest, but Ive found that the possibility of beer being involed entices people to help. I grow Chinook, St

    The time is now to get them in the ground. Find a spot with lots of sun and a place for the hops to climb. A pole and string work good. once they start, train them up the string. They will spread like crazy once they start so regular pruning is a must

Has much more of a pub feel than the brewery's pub...and the food is much better there. I haven't been there in a few months, but I have heard that they were working on getting a small batch system set up to brew on site....almost like a big homebrew system, I guess. Maybe like a pico system or something along those lines.

    This group is designed to share notes about beer, as well as tasting notes and suggestions and get to know beer lovers from all over the globe. Here's the idea: We have themed tasting. In advance, if possible, we will pick a Style of Beer we're going to taste, then we trade tasting notes. The tasting period will be over two weeks so we get an outpouring of related tasting notes, which will spur deep discussions.... Check the Discussion area for what the tasting will be.
