I have a bunch of Centennial and some Cascade. In good years, I've picked a few pounds. I'm not going to have time to pick this year's crop. If you want to pick them, you can have them. PM me for my address,etc. I'm in 80013 near Hampden and Reservoir Road.

you should try Crooked Stave here in Denver. They do a lot of sours. How do you pack and ship?

I am in Aurora, near Denver. If you want to root Centennial clippings, I can cut them for you. Message me with your phone number.

I will send you some centennial when they come up.

yes, though they will probably still grow in the old area. You can keep digging up the extra shoots.

There are wild hops in the Pine Valley Ranch open space in Jeffco, just north of the parking lot on the railroad trail. Both male and female, so watch out. I harvested some seeds a few years ago, but they did not germinate. There are also hops on Plainview Road and 72, just west of 93. I...

You should do hanger tags. Here's the links from MoRoToRiUm Sample Template

once again, the beer was tasty. Thanks to all who brought their beers to share.

Ginger is a subtle flavor that will probably blend with the hops. Cinnamon is another warm flavor that blends well. On another note, I saw some fully laden juniper shrubs on my daily walk with my dogs. The house is vacant and I can get a few ounces if anyone wants some fresh juniper berries.
