So what’s the verdict on the wild hops?
I see a bunch along the bike trail around here… They do have seeds… So what ever was the hops grown in these areas back before prohibition… I would believe that’s their parentage… Liberty? Nugget?

Fantastic! It’s a shame it’s going to be limited edition.
In my thread @loopie_beer suggested they were Cluster. I’m going to make the beer again with Cluster and see if it compares.
Cluster is pretty distinctive and an old variety. I believe it was a common hop used in American beers.
Double Mt. in Hood River, OR made a single hop IPA called Cluster F%$# that I thought was great.
When You’re Strange by Anchorage brewery. I discovered Anchorage on Tavour and have loved nearly every beer I’ve tried from them so when they pop up I buy one before even reading the description then go back and read through them. The barrel aged options are typically WAY out of my price range (I just can’t justify $50 for a single bottle of anything) but everything else is very reasonable and well worth it.
This one is described as:
Sour ale with Brettanomyces aged in Chardonnay barrels for 18 months and rested on apricots for 4 months.
Fantastic.

Not drinking this now since it’s 9am. Had one with dinner a couple of nights ago. Middle Ages brewing Dragonslayer 2019 boubon barrel aged Imperial stout. Aged over a year the label tells me. Always liked the regular Dragonslayer but this stuff is even better. It is a really roasty and at 12% powerful stout. Not one you would be drinking many of at once.
Steak brew!
That looks refreshing . I’m going to pour one and post
Holy cow… And a swimming pool to exhibit a nice brew…in the midst of Summer’s throws… Nice…
