Episode Synopsis "Special Edition: Hopsource with Chris Swersey from the Brewers Association"

Kaleb puts his nose to work at Hopsource smelling new experimental public hop varieties. Hopsource was a week-long event hosted at Yakima Valley Hops by the Brewers Association and Draught Lab to sniff out future superstar hops. Chris Swersey from the Brewers Association walks Kaleb through the sensory evaluation process as well as talks about how the BA is supporting the public breeding program, what goes into breeding experimental hops, and what your nose can tell you about hops in a single whiff. Apologies for the episode getting cut short, but please email [email protected] with any follow-up questions for a Part 2 with Chris in a couple weeks.
