Afton
Nelson County, Virginia
For the 2nd year in a row people packed the deck at Blue Mountain Brewery in Afton to help separate the hops from the 2011 harvest! Not to worry, if you volunteered for just 2 hours, lunch was on the house!
Back in April of this year they were stringing up the hops getting ready for the harvest that came on Thursday!
Do they use the hops harvest in their own beer, uh yeah!!
Read more here about last year’s 1st event and what they do with the hops harvested.
Can’t wait for this new batch! Yummo!
