I’m sorry but one side is voting for a gun, not the woman.

🧵17/x By late July the hops were in their final stages of growth and we started preparing for the harvest. The Cascades performed best and the photos feature them, one from our first year and two from the second. We still had a few tasks to take care of before we could pick them, that’s next.
A look down one of the Cascade rows in our first hops growing year, 2015. Close-up of Cascade hops from our second year of growing them at Hawksbill Hopyards. Here’s a look at our healthy Cascade bines just before our second harvest.

🧵16/x Pen Druid’s Sperryville grand opening was a week after their hopyard visit, so I went over to check it out. Their traditional terroir driven approach to fermentation was inspired by European travels. 10 years later their brewery is still one of the coolest in Virginia.
Pen Druid fermentation opened in Sperryville in 2015. The first tap list at Pen Druid’s grand opening. Pen Druid’s terroir based approach would use barrels from local vineyards in their fermentation program. Me and the Carney bros at Pen Druid, along with early investor Jonathan.
