More hop news from Yakima Chief via the interwebs and the virtual hop season… plus some extra tidbits from perusing what competitor Hopsteiner has going…
- Be on the lookout for HBC 630 with a cherry candy aroma and HBC 638 with a lime focus amidst other citrus

- Yakima Chief Ranches grows blueberries too and Gascony bison!
- Hopsteiner has a way cool video about their picking operation. No bringing in full bines. They strip the hops off right in the field
- the amount of smelling that goes on to collect data is amazing. 100s of hops are give s sensory analysis
- a hop might go to market because it has a different picking window than the other hops in the field
