Dirty Jobs - Hop Harvester

Discovery Channel 9pm and 1am ET, Tuesday, November the 25th.

Thanks for the info. I think I set that up to record right now.

Thanks for info. Excellent show. Mike Rowe is good.

Definitely a must watch episode

Mike Rowe is awesome.

I consider myself at least twice as awesome as Mike Rowe.

Unless of course Mike Rowe's awesomeness measures in the negative.

Until you pull out the imaginary numbers.

Starting now!

YAY!
I love watching hops... hops like hopes... light and fluffy with the sweet body of malt...

Wow, that's a lot of hops. Cascades and IIRC about 10 other varities. How many tons did they say were harvested by that one farm? I just want to walk the grounds and pick up the scraps.

7.5 tons. I want to go swimming in all those hops.

sorry... too busy slobbering over the hops that were on the floor next to the conveyor to the kiln room...

60,000 batches of pale ale sound about right?

Hop Harvesting
The Best 35 days of the Year!

Was watching this and wondering:

Is this how heaven smells?
Which job would I want?
Why is Mike Rowe wondering why a 70+ year-old guy would be working here?


My answers after some thought(not much though):
Yes
I'd do just about any of them
Mike Rowe must be a BMC drinker?

that was an absurd amount of cascade!

nice!!!!!!!!

Okay.

So did anybody keep watching til it got to the parchment maker?

Dude, that skin stretcher chick was a little freaky but HAWT!

Yeah, that was interesting. I think the best part was when he was popping the zits on the goat skins while wearing the Hop Union hat. It was pretty gross.

For those who missed it.. Like me..

Repeat on November 27th at 10pm

Yeah i like both segments. buy I have to tell you when i was 19 i worked in a place that had a wing night we went through 4 cases plus of wings. I got tired of wings for a couple of years. So i;m thinking the workers are wine drinkers LOL

Hop harvesting was probably one of the least dirty jobs on the show. I'm sure there are cirty jobs like maintaining and cleaning the machines, etc. IDK... all they showed was standing on the back of a tractor, hooking vines, and pushing hooks into a machine. No pits of death, no puss filled eruptions of goo, no vortexes of crap... fun for beer drinkers tho!

I forgot about it. Then someone in the office who doesn't even brew told me how awesome it was this morning. I hope I don't forget the repeat.
