New Belgium rampant imperial IPA is good, nice finish not to bitter in the end because of the peach tones in the beer. I have to wait for my Oval Office honey amber for at least another month, hope it's good.
Anyone have experience growing their own hops? Going to get a cascade rhizome. Have a good area for growing, was just wondering.
Guiness Foreign Extra and Draught.
Toured their old distillery operation in Dublin last week after hitting up the Jameson Irish whiskey facility. Both started back in the 1700s.
Checked out the Irish red barley, Wichlow Mountain water, special yeast from 1780, high quality hops, triple distillation, metal/oak casks, 18 year aging. Yum, good stuff.

Looks like hops grow fifteen feet high and can be grown in several parts of the world. Hope you have a ladder.
Yep! I started my own Cascade last year. I brewed a fresh hop black IPA with my first year crop, which was probably the best beer I've made. I live in an apartment and have a balcony so my options were quite limited on how to grow it. I followed this guy's brilliant plan: Guide to growing your own hops in a container with trellis | North Carolina Home Brewing. I got my Cascade rhizome from Arrowhead Hops ». I want to say he's out of Madrid. He's also a poster on here -- View Profile: Clonebydesign - CycloneFanatic. If you have any questions, you can PM me, or I'm sure Andy from Arrowhead would answer questions for you too, and he knows a lot more than me.
If you want an in-depth look at hops, check out this book. I'm in the middle of it now. For The Love of Hops: The Practical Guide to Aroma, Bitterness and the Culture of Hops (Brewing Elements): Stan Hieronymus: 9781938469015: Amazon.com: Books
I see homebrewing/craft beer as one big (dysfunctional) family. Gotta help each other out!
Just got back from Indiana/Illinois. Got two cases of Three Floyd's Zombie Dust and a bunch of stuff that's not available in Iowa yet. Crazy how busy that little brewery is. I actually had to stand in a line to sit at the bar at 3pm on a Wednesday.
Did somebody say hops and beer? The farm is outside of Madrid but I live in Ames.
Here are some that I picked up. The Hoppin Frog and Pipeworks are ones I've never heard of so I hope they are good. The Dogfish stout has something like 18% ABV.
I was going to pick up some Central Waters but then I remembered that they will be selling Iowa within the next couple of weeks.

How would you compare the Zombie Dust to Psuedo Sue?
Got some Lucky Bucket IPAs to enjoy tonight. Today is my Friday. #YEEYEE*
*I am probably one of the few to say YEE YEE and IPA in the same sentence, maybe the only one

I picked up some Zombie Dust today too for the first time. I am pumped to try it.
