For all of my gardening and farming friends....

We will have spent hops from our new wet hop pale ale brew today available for pickup around 5 pm. The used hops are super rich in nitrogen and great for composting or mixing into soil/fertilizer.
They can also be mixed into pig feed tho I am not aware of any other animal that is crazy about them.

Trash bags of spent hops will be sitting by our dumpster by 5 pm and they can be picked up anytime. First come first served but we will have at least 4 trash bags full of them.

Feel free to share with anyone who might be interested. I would rather see them get used than thrown away. Thank you! Tom

It's a scorcher, but we have the remedy. Starting with One Night In Bamberg. This German inspired, smokey, malt forward beer will do the trick. Or grab a pint of our Blood Sweat and Orange IPA. Always a summertime favorite. Ox will be open from about 3 to 7 while supplies last. So come on up and join us on the hill!
