Hop To It

OK, I'll admit it. Some of the stories I work on require arduous and onerous research. Imagine the chore of taste testing Wisconsin beer brewed with a new (but old) Wisconsin crop . . . hops. I have to pay for it myself, do it on my own time and I might even have to invite a group of friends to get their opinion on this product. Sigh.

Well, in the interest of accurate reporting I'll take on this exacting task.

An intriguing part of this story is the history of hops in this state.

Look for this story next fall on In Wisconsin.
