Nelson Hops Shortage

That really sucks.

I may have to go on a walkabout or other spiritual journey to find myself again if the world runs out of Centennial.

 

My heart's going out to ya right now, Emcee. This is a brave new world we're stepping into, one without access to our lady Nelson.
Hang tough, my brother.

 

damn!...i fear there will be other Hops shortages in the very near future...

 

Aw man - I forgot to answer the question. Let's go by season:
Spring - Schofferhofer Grapefruit Wheat
Summer - Shiner Ruby Redbird
Fall - Heritage King's Mountain
Winter - Corsendonk Christmas Ale

As far as year-round...
If they somehow stopped brewing Geuze, I think I'd have to end myself, brother...

 

Nope. With so many fresh options out there these days, I can always find something to drink.

Cheer up!

 

Instead of wallowing in sorrow maybe now is the time to pick yourself up by the boot straps and start homebrewing!!

Take control of your own destiny (or in the parlance of George McFly: density).

Cheers!

 

I couldn't live without belgians. If their yeast was ever in a shortage somehow, id feel like something inside was missing. Cheers to you. hang in there.

 

But your masters are leaving you in a hole here.

Entirely your choice in this matter.

An old saying I heard: Give a man a beer and you 'waste' a half hour, teach a man to homebrew and you 'waste' a lifetime.

Needless to say but I take exception to the verbiage of "waste".

Cheers!

 

Paraphrasing, but:
Give a man a fish & you've got a customer, teach a man to fish & you've ruined your market base.
Actually, now that I've typed it out, that's far more OT than I meant it to be.

 

This is exactly why i started home brewing. I would try an awesome beer that was just what I wanted but it was either hard to get, seasonal or I had to trade for it. I started brewing to fill those holes and I couldn't be happier.

 

You also need to educate @TheIPAHunter about your ability to homebrew 'top shelf' "New England" style IPAs as well. No need to wait in lines!!

Cheers!

 

See Jack, here's the thing about that. I had a homebrewed sour I dryhopped with Nelson, it made it to the finals and was chosen as a pro-am entry until they found out it was hopped with nelson. Because the hops weren't available I got the shaft.

 

But you got the opportunity to drink some awesome homebrewed beer. You are a WINNER here!!

Cheers!

 

Haha, so true!

 

DAMN. That be my favorite hop.

 

Which Brewer?

 

This may be the saddest thing I have ever heard. Cheers to you @SFACRKnight, my deepest condolences.

EDIT: But at least you got to enjoy the fruits of your labor!

 

No, jokes on me, it was because of this beer I found out I am allergic to brett.
