Interesting Local Blog Read

From the folks behind the attempt to start up a brew pub in Antigonish. Interesting read, and mention of a hop growing workshop at the bottom.

I didn't realize that growing hops now qualifies you as being an expert...
At Alexander Keith's we follow the recipes first developed by the great brewmaster to the absolute letter. :wtf:

Randy has been brewing and growing hops since the 80s, and has created award winning beers for Paddy’s in Kentville where he created Atlantic Canada’s first dry-hopped ale, Rudder’s in Yarmouth, and is the dark genius behind Propeller’s delicious Porter.
For both bolded sections - really?

They maybe mistaken first dry hopped with wet hopped? I seen it said that Randy was the first to do that but I am also curious about #2.
"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.
