Just kegged my first fresh hop home brew a few days ago and it is tasting great. This gets me excited to try to get in one more fresh hop brew day this year. Does anybody know of a place within a reasonable drive from PDX (not looking to drive out to Yakima) that I would still be able to get some fresh hops at. Maybe a smaller local hop farm? I guess depending on the response I can start thinking about exactly which hop strain I would want (at this point anything that would work well as a late addition flavor/aroma hop for an IPA). I will probably cross post in the NW forum as well. Thanks.
Oregon is the second biggest hop growing state. Most are in the Willamette Valley. http://www.bcrosbyhops.com/contact_us.php http://www.theoregonhophouse.com/contact.html http://roguefarmsblog.wordpress.com/category/crops/hops-crops/ http://goschiefarms.com/index.html http://www.freshops.com
