Interesting article about Oregon hops and craft beer

ISO: coconut/blueberry hop flavors
NOT ISO: garlic hop flavors

 

They already have those, they're called Summit. There should be an emoticon for "yuck" reserved just for beers that feature them.

 

I liked that article, definitely worth reading.

 

Definitely a good read. Thanks for the link.

 

Good article. Maybe some other regions will get on board. IIRC, the area around Cooperstown, NY was one of the largest hop growing regions in the world until a blight ruined the plants.

 

Good article overall, but what makes Washington's flavor hops "cut-rate"? To me that phrase connotes inferior, and them's fightin' words.

 

The article read like a paid promotional piece. I can understand wanting to promote local products, but whenever someone feels a need to slander someone else's product in order to promote their own it makes me skeptical.

 

Great read! Thanks for the link D:

 

Its an Oregon (Willamette) supporting paper, you would prob hear similar articles about California Wine advancements slandering France / Other regions to a degree. Regardless of the point of view, i enjoyed hearing some sort of sucess story with new hop planters after the void left by Anheuser-Busch.
