Rad Riesling
Mixing the two worlds of wine and beer with just the right balance requires some serious blending skill. And considering that 2017 was the hottest year on record, I will need something light and refreshing which makes this offering from the Union Wine Company intriguing on two levels. You get grapefruit juice, Riesling wine and two C-Hops (Crystal and Cascade).
Part wine cooler, part radler and part hops.
Look in the mirror for a fresh hop
Part of the Deschutes Bond Street Series comes this fresh hop version of Mirror Pond, “This noble, fresh hop version of our classic American Pale Ale arose from a single plot of heirloom Cascade hops, revived by our brewers from the original rootstock developed at Oregon State University, grown by Goshie Farms in Oregon.”
These may be some of the hops that I saw harvested during the beer blogger conference in August. Boy did they smell good.
