Episode 58 - The Hip Hops of North Carolina

Joe and Nick are back (LC is taking a hiatus until after the baby arrives) and talking about some recent news in the craft beer industry: Anchor Brewing Company and their decision to stop distributing outside of California. After recapping this big announcement, we dive into the world of North Carolina hops. The NC State Extension has a North Carolina hops project that has been underway for more than 10 years, and there has been a lot of promise in the science of selective breeding for hop varieties that can thrive in this climate. LC pulls through by leaving the guys her "LC Pick of the Week" to close things out.
