You guys we’re almost there. As of the morning of April 5th, 40% of King County residents have had their first vaccine shot. We’re on pace for 50% by the end of the week. EXCITING STUFF. BUT, we’re not there yet. Cases are rising here, there, pretty much everywhere and we have to remain diligent with mask wearing and safe distancing and washing our hands! It’s encouraging and exciting, but still requires attention and patience. Much like Experimental Hop HBC 586. This hop is primed to be the next BIG DEAL – it’s future is bright, but it will need a few more harvests to gain critical mass. This baby has notes of guava, papaya, candied pineapple, & cherries – essentially, it’s an intense tropical fruit cup of emotions.  For support, we threw in a little Mosaic & Citra, and feathered in some Skagit White Wheat and Oats to soften the malt. The end result is a perfect companion to help you hang in there! We’re so CLOSE!
