What is hop·nólogy?
For the purposes of this podcast, it's James and Gregg tossing around their observations after 10+ years in the hops industry. Over that time we've developed some conclusions - and a whole lot of opinions - about what works and what doesn't in the beer community triangle of consumers, growers and brewers. Join us and our periodic guest contributors as we run the gamut of topics from "mom said I could plant a half acre out back" and "Mr. Brewer sir, what do you mean you won't buy this garbage bag of hops that I just picked from my backyard" to the guy who wanted to dry his hops in an old casket. Yep, that really happened.

Customer Reviews
Thorough, informative and entertaining
These guys dish out relevant knowledge weekly that is one of the only easily digestible avenues for hop farming and the business behind it. It is a wonderful resource to be able to draw on their extensive knowledge and experience well. We built our drying system solely based on what was discussed on the drying show. Thanks for all the work you guys do! Cheers.
Good information, insufferable to listen to
If you’re looking into growing hops and want some useful information, you can find it here, but you need to tolerate the insufferable complaining about every single thing the beer community has to offer from 2 pompous curmudgeons to be able to find that useful information.
Right place at the right time!
Hops grower here in VA since 2016. Just came across your podcast on Virginia Tech post. You guys are Great you head the nail head with all aspects of growing and talking breweries. The right place at the right time for me in answering some questions I had.
