I really have thought about it for several years, but that is as far as I've gone.<br /><br />Cathy, not a fan of beer myself although I will drink one now and then. Much prefer Lambrusco or peach brandy in a glass of milk.threecolliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05811004278088768813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15171402.post-43085117204892015942013-01-16T13:28:38.533-05:002013-01-16T13:28:38.533-05:00Guilty admission:

I love to grow odd things.<br /><br />WW, really? Wow, I think they are the coolest things. Had no idea they grow wild.threecolliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05811004278088768813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15171402.post-65422182782789849532013-01-14T11:23:32.226-05:002013-01-14T11:23:32.226-05:00You wouldn't have to buy any hop vines, just w...You wouldn't have to buy any hop vines, just walk along the Mohawk at Vischers Ferry, where they grow in tangled wild masses in the woods.<br />Jacqueline Donnellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13390548854179921303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15171402.post-10302347386379985432013-01-14T08:27:49.920-05:002013-01-14T08:27:49.920-05:00I think Butternuts Brewery is scanning about for h...I think Butternuts Brewery is scanning about for hops farmers to supply the soon-to-be-established Cobleskill brewery...Junehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11710135137635433217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15171402.post-14164397570080127192013-01-14T07:46:21.532-05:002013-01-14T07:46:21.532-05:00I was thinking along those lines (hop history/brew...I was thinking along those lines (hop history/brewing) when I saw you post a photo of your hop barn Sunday. <br /><br />I recall seeing old sepia tinted photos of hop vines 12-20 feet tall from circa 1900 in the Mohawk Valley.
