Hop Harvest
So I have been invited to attend and participate in a hop harvest for a local micro-brewery and am really looking forward to it. If all goes as planned I will be there Saturday morning and word is I get paid with a case of beer. I am looking forward to the experience more than the beer, however the beer will be appreciated. I will try to take some pictures and post them here the Monday after the event. I don't want to say to much right now because the event it not open to the public, however I will include more details after the event.
Anybody else ever harvest hops? Internet pics: Edit: I appologize, I realize now after posting this it was in the wrong section!!!!! Sorry admins, can you help a brother out and move it out of here?

Re: Hop Harvest
That would be awesome! The only hop harvest I've attended has been in my backyard, but I certainly don't have a need for huge farm equipment or even helpers, for that matter.
A brewery in western Virginia held a similar event a few days ago: http://www.nelsoncountylife.com/2011...l-hop-harvest/ It was during the week, so work interfered, but I would have loved to go. Looking forward to your pictures!

Re: Hop Harvest
So I attended the last hop harvest for Weyerbacher brewery Saturday, they are going to be out sourcing all of their hops next year due to the growing cost and hard work to grow their own. Here are a couple pics: We arrived to see a stack of free cases of their Autumn Fest for all the workers. We were also given a freezer bag of hops to make home brew.
