Bumper crop puts dent in hop shortage

| Comments | No TrackBacks

You may or may not be aware of the recent global hop shortage, but you've probably noticed the price of your sixpack going up over the last year or so.  Love IPA's?  Then you've felt the pinch.  If you're a homebrewer like myself, you've definitely noticed it in the inavailability of certain hops.

Good news appears to be on the horizon.  According to an article from BNET, hop farmers have had a bumper crop, which is good news for you and me.  I'm curious to see how long it takes to see the $benefit$ in the supermarket cooler.
