As I'm sure most of you already know the hop harvest is upon us,

which means that we're going to be getting our hands on the 2017 crop of fresh, amazing hops very, very soon.

Well, because of the hop harvest, I thought it would be really cool to have somebody who's in the

industry come on the show and tell us about everything that goes into taking a hop from seed

all the way to that glass of delicious beer.

And so rather than going over an experiment, like we usually do,

I invited Doug Wilson from Hopstiner onto the show

who shares just a ton of great information on breeding, growing, and harvesting hops.

I was really lucky enough last year to meet Doug Wilson up in Yakima during the hop harvest.

I was invited by Hop Steiner, who Doug Wilson is with, and he was kind of my tour guide.

We had a great time. He showed me all of the different facilities that Hopstiner uses for processing their hops and all the cool stuff that goes into it. He's going to go into detail in all of that stuff. I think you guys will all enjoy it.

Well, this year for Hop Harvest, I will be going back up to Yakima.
