How has hop farming evolved over the past decade? Jimmy has brought on a roster of experts to bring us up to speed on the state of hops. 

On the show today are John Condzella, fourth generation farmer from eastern Long Island and president of the Hop Growers of New York Association; Adam Kryder, executive director of the Hop Growers of New York Association; and Megan Wilson, COO of Torch & Crown Brewing Co. in Manhattan.

Going on 12 years ago, John was a budding hop farmer in New York in need of a German Hop Harvesting machine. One successful kickstarter and over a decade of farming later, he’s here to tell the tale. 

Plus, learn all about the Hop Growers of New York Wet Hop Fest!
