Hoptoberfest is on today! No hurricanes in sight. Kegs can be dropped off any time. Guests can start arriving around 4:00.

I'm half way to Spain with the jockey box.

Heading over to get the ice now so I'll drop that and the jockey box off

Wow. That was an amazing evening. Hoptoberfest has definitely been rejuvenated. The Italian opera singing was an unprecedented treat.

Thanks to all who came, as well as Tidehouse Brewing for lending us their jockeybox and Rockbottom Brewpub for supplying us with ice.

We had a great time, wish we could have stayed longer. Great to see everyone out and talk some brewing

"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.
