Hop Glut....


What appears to be hops growing along the Franklin, NC Greenway, taken when I was hiking the Appalachian Trail.

I was wondering why hops got so cheap all the sudden. I usually take advantage of supersaver shipping from my two favorite home brew supply stores, which usually means I stock up on ingredients. Since I hadn't shopped in a while, I noticed that hops are much cheaper. Here is why.

According to the article it looks like it won't lower the price of beer however. Guess I will have to keep on home brewing for my brew!
