Living in Beertown, USA like we do, we don’t forget that brewing is an art form and that each batch has its own special little notes that makes it original. Let’s get scientific for a second. Hops are the flowers (also known as seed cones or strobiles) of the hop plant Humulus lupulus. They stabilize […]
