Holy crap, that sounds cool! And damn close.
I will try to be there.
Fill with mingled cream and amber,
I will drain that glass again.
Such hilarious visions clamber
Through the chambers of my brain.
Quaintest thoughts — queerest fancies,
Come to life and fade away:
What care I how time advances?
I am drinking ale today.

My 9 month old daughter voted no. I was powerless to stop her. So cute...

I really wanted to go, but she would not have cooperated if I tried to go.

How was it?

What kind of hops do they grow?

Do they sell them there, or are they shipped off for sale?

It would be cool to drive 15 minutes to buy fresh hops locally.

I posted a write-up in the Hops section. It's the 2014 Hop Rhizomes Pre Sale thread.

I think he only sells directly if he has any left over after the two breweries he supplies. From talking to him on Saturday, it didn't sound like there will be any left overs this year. Never know though.
