"I have a couple of hops plants in my yard in Simsbury. There is a nice crop on the Cascade, but the Centennial does not bear flowers. Free to a good home! Let me know if you are interested."

For those who are interested in growing your own hops.... I just wanted to let you know that many area garden centers will be carrying them this year. Stonehedge in Newington currently has Chinook, Centennial, Cascade and Mt Hood available. By week's end the same varieties will be at Cheshire Nursery in Cheshire as well as several other retail nurseries throughout New England.

First off, I'll say it again, I love plan B. By far, the best local restaurant in West Hartford thanks to great beer, awesome bartenders and good food. After living here for 3 years, I'm heading back to Boston and I'll miss Plan B. With that said, I feel totally robbed of the $25 I spent on a ticket (plus a tip) for the Earth Day cask event today.. . The event was advertised as running from 2:00-6:00. $25 for dry hopped IPA cask (unitll it runs out and a buffet. I showed up at 3:55 and…See More

- Ya I also like the can beer trend. Tallgrass out of Kansas makes some great beer. They shipped me several to review on my website and I had them when I was out in CO for the GABF this past fall.
