    Ha! All good, hops are really robust and IMO, no different than growing Perennials (only better). They survive the Winter with no problem and come back every year with a vengeance. Hops are just all around awesome for beer nerds: Add them to the home brew or just grow them for aesthetics. I have two plants (bines), one drapes over the deck and is more for aesthetics while the other grows up the side of our two story house (which is the one I picked from tonight for homebrewing). My bines are going on 10+ years old now, they're not expensive but Japanese Beetles and Lantern Flies have a high tendency to shred them and it gets frustrating. Check out the website:

    Good luck. A judge just turned all that unemployment bonus $ back on here as the Guv implemented this wrong. Delta is going to keep a lot of workers on the sideline until there is actual incentive to go to work. Me? I just keep getting up & going to work at the hospital...

    Hear that. It was more of a scheduling problem where they should have at least one prep person on. That being said the place hangs by a thread. If one person quits (which has happened not just once) the rest of us are screwed. Which would be mostly me because I hate quitters and screwing people. So Id hang until I couldnt hang anymore

    My first beer from Odd Breed Wild Ales! It's spectacular! Incredibly sour and funky!

    Holy shit. If those are their prices (plus gratuity!?!?) I simply would not order a beer. No way. Fuck that.

    The Buckhorn Exchange (Denver's oldest steak house, boasting past clients such as Teddy Roosevelt) has the best Rocky Mountain oysters I've had.

    Plus Wynkoop brewing has brewed a Rocky Mountain Oyster Stout (it, too, was tasty - I enjoyed it in 2017)...

    There are other places, such as below...

    I've had frog legs, rattlesnake, snails, and Rocky Mountain oysters - love 'em, plus Wynkoop Brewing made (makes?) a Rocky Mountain Oyster Stout which is pretty tasty - three balls per barrel per the brewery's notes).

    The Buckhorn Exchange in Denver serves up tasty platter-fulls of the oysters, and Wynkoop Brewing Co. in Denver does brew up a stout with "three balls per barrel" according to my BA review (their web page about the beer here)...

    ...late note: the latest offering now upped the ball density to "six balls per barrel" (ref. https://wynkoop.com/brewery/tap-list/)...

    It's not soup, but try Wynkoop's Rocky Mountain Oyster Stout - now with "six balls per barrel" as opposed to the "three balls per barrel" when I did my BA review in 2017...

    And Buckhorn is the place I think I first had them, would rather have one of their wild game steaks and rattle snake red chili app though :slight_smile: (can't remember what they call it now).
