    There have been some amazing beers on tap for the opening of the new pub. Kiwi on tap tasted good on a really hot humid day and BB was off the charts great, just wish they would brew enough of it for growler fills.

    Cheers…...

    Had a Nelson tonight that was brewed by Green Flash and it was the worst attempt yet. I wish Alpine would have found another way to expand because this Green Flash thing is a failure.

    Someone I know was just commenting that he was at GF this weekend and had the Nelson and he couldn't even finish the glass.

    Someone I know was also just commenting on how Green Flash can't get enough of the right hops for the recipe for Nelson. Even still, one has to wonder how it could suck this badly for this long.

    Sometimes I wonder whether Alpine truly gave the true "Nelson" recipe to GF.

    Nelson hops are pretty much fucked. RIP beautiful beer.

    I know they've always been difficult to get but is there now a an even greater shortage of some sort?

    If no more Nelson, this grown man will cry.

    Alpine's going to start brewing Nelson less and less as their largest supplier of the hops needed is selling his farm away.

    I have a fantastic idea. Just let Alpine have all the Nelson hops instead of splitting it with GF. :slight_smile:

    Is this true? Is the person/company taking over the farm going to use the land for something else?

    Major bummer :-(
