  KCTSeattle 9 Public Television features a nice interview spot with Leslie Roy, CEO & President of Roy Farms a 2300+ acre central Washington hop farm. This Moxee, Washington mega hop farm is one of many which indirectly produces extracts for macro brewers and macro-regional “craft” brewers too.

  “President and CEO of the Greater Yakima Chamber of Commerce Mike Morrisette visits Roy Farms to see the production of hops, which has been in production in Yakima for over 100 years.”

  Leslie Roy can also be credited as the Vice-president of the International Hop Growers Convention (IHGC), Representative of the American Dwarf Hop Association and political contributor.

  For more photos about the IHGC and other big-ass hop farms check out the DarbaGroup photos and videos.

  I am super stoked to meet lots of hoppy people at the Gorst Valley Hop Seminar tomorrow. This event is the 3rd annual and is held in Cross Plaines, WI (45 minutes from my front door – Nice!).

  The workshop includes speakers from Gorst Valley (Mazomanie, WI) including: James Altwies, Dan Dettmers, Christine Molling and features Hops from the Brewer’s Point-of-View, a 45 minute lecture by Kirby Nelson of Capital Brewery, Middleton, WI.

  

  The all day hops seminar goes from 8 o’clock am to 5 o’clock pm, includes lunch, 2 breaks and a special gathering at a brewery afterwards.

  This brewery tour video of Lakefront Brewery, Vice President, Jim Kilsch is awesome because he talks about getting stoned from pot! Well not quite. However, I have never heard such a description about hops being related to marijuana by plant family told in this way.
