Homegrown Hops – Week 3
Just a quick update. Farmer Xon and Dean kegged up the Double IPA experiment finally. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to make it, but Dean tells me that both batches smell amazing. It will be nice to see how the different hops are going to effect the beer.
In the growing department, the hops are sprouting up like crazy. I think Xon said we’re over 16 inches now (that’s what she said!)! Still not sure if we’ll get any yield this year, but at least they are fun to look at so far.
Also, we heard today that there may be a brewery starting up in Fremont called “Brews n Bites” or “Bites n Brews”. I did a quick search online and could only come up with what looked like a festival in San Luis Obispo as well as a restaurant, but not brewpub, in PA. From the word on the streets, it’s supposed to be in the Five Corners area of the Irvington district. If you have any idea on what’s the deal with this place, please let us know!
Update: Looks like there is a place that opened up in Hayward not too long ago called Buddys Bites and Brews, maybe it’s an expansion on this place?
