To tell you the truth, I'm feeling a bit lazy, so I will just let the other beer bloggers do the work for me today.
Appellation Beer takes a historic perspective on the current hop shortage.
Bryson scribbles something about the demise of the DIPA at Seen Through A Glass - Whose side are you on anyway Lew? ;-) One of the reponses in Lew's blasphemous post dug up an interesting press release from the German Hop Industry Association depicting the 2007 hop crop in Germany.
Here's a blog doing good work chronic-logically depicting something called Fresh Hop Week - probably in conjuction with the Fresh Hop Tasteval that taking place at a different city in Oregon each weekend this month.
Even Stonch gets into the action calling for an alternative to hops. But he's from England, so what does he know about hoppy beer? ;-)
Then you got two guys with a blog called Hop Talk and some guy calling himself Captain Hops with nary a word about hops on their blogs. False advertising if you ask me. You wanna know what's going on with hops, stay tuned, right here at Hop Jones.
