Michigan Hops

[haerbob3]

Any of MI Brewers know where I may score some Michigan grown hops??

Have you tried asking at Adventures in Homebrewing? I swear I have seen flyers for Michigan grown hops in the both locations.

But other than that I don't have a suggestion.

Thanks Duff unfortunately I never get to AIH. Our daughter lives in A^2 yet!!!

You could always try calling them. They might know where to point you.

I would point you in my direction but unfortunately (or fortunately) I think we are all sold out. I will be sporting on up there this weekend and can double check. Anything specific?

The other place I know of is The Michigan Hops Alliance on the "other penninsula." Tell 'em the guys from Old Mission Hops Exchange sent ya.

Depending on how things look next year I may look to see if there is any interest in MI Hops (which by the way is on my license plate lol).

Let me know if there would be any interest in providing hops for BeerBorg members for next season. I would love to support a michigan company and be able to offer Borg members something special!

Same here I was not looking for any particular hop just something from here. Wold love to an all Michigan hop IPA

Along those lines, I also met up with these guys at a conference or show or something (I do know there was beer involved - that much I can tell you):

I havent tried them yet so not sure of pricing. Should you want to make an all Michigan bier.

I actually tried to purchase some of the Michigan Malt 2 Row to go along with my homegrown Cascade recipe but unfortunately AIH was out and they don't know when they can get more in stock.

So sad to see all these empty poles, but happy I was able to bring home some pelletized Nugget and whole Chinook to play with. Did the last load on Sunday and closed up shop Monday. See ya next year! Grapes still have probably another month to go.

It is sad. Are BORG units going to be able to purchase some next year? Do you sell rhizomes, grapes?

Thanks

I will see what happens next year and if things look good start seeing if there is any interest. For better or worse (okay, better) most have been sold out before they even start climbing the ropes.
