Wow. Here I am again, writing to no one in particular within the confines of an aggressively mediocre method of communication.
Evan here, the hyper-literate and entirely unconvinced half of this blogging brewing farming partnership. So finding help for a good ol' post shave flopped, but that didn't stop my Dad, myself, and Ezra from putting in some of our own sweat equity. The hops yard may well be full of strange twisting wood and shiny new cable within a few weeks. I'll disclose the address when I finally have a lease signed. Panoramic pictures to follow as well.
I was looking for some feedback from any of the brewing community that cares to give it about cultivars they have found to be successful in our tumultuous New England environment. Please, refrain from recommending Cascade. I know it works, and so do you. Let's not sink into the realm of the obvious here.
Additionally, since I apparently also manage this business (and don't just wallow around trying to figure out how to be a hops farmer) I have some preliminary news. With any luck (hah), Glass Bottom Brewery LLC will sign a lease agreement and be on its way to fed, state, and local licensing for the production and legal sale of beer. For now, we are individual homebrewers providing samples of our homebrewed product to anyone interested in knowing what the future may bring. But within the three months for fed, the two months for state, and another for local, we may well be able to say that Glass Bottom Brewery produces beer. I think a celebratory brew day may be in order, and all parties that have given us encouragement (or insurance, or legal advice, or a guarantees of future business) will be invited. Scottish Ale anyone? I'll let my associate describe it better.
Cheers,
Evan
