Ok, so, hear us out. There is something undeniably similar with Strata, Nelson, and Krush. From spidercharts to HPLCs to whole cone rubs to finished beer – SOMETHING IS GOING ON HERE. Despite them being developed and bred by separate (and secretive) organizations, on different timelines, in different regions/countries (one on an island on the other side of the world). It’s like how do these hops all throw similar bright and sharp passionfruit, guava, berry, grape, white grapefruit? BUT RECENTLY WE HAVE UNEARTHED SOME INFORMATION THAT IS NOTHING SHORT OF A MASSIVE, INDUSTRY BOMBSHELL….Remember the Balloon Boy? Turns out there were more than one of them. Like, WAY more. And they weren’t actually “boys.”  They were semi-sublimated lupospheric shapeshifters from planet X 331-586-850306, who deliberately sprinkled their OWN hop seeds (they naturally produce and shed these throughout their day, kinda like dandruff) in the South Pacific (first, because Kiwis are so friendly and welcoming) then over Oregon (because beer was invented there) and finally over Washington (because they saved the best for last) before they were caught in Colorado, who unfortunately for them, did not get any of these seeds. And now that you know all of this….FUCK SOMEONE IS KNOCKING ON OUR DOOR…WE GOTTA GO.
