As a small boy in the late 1960s I traveled to Britian (about one hour outside London by car) during the summer and picked hops for several days.
Apparently, back then, factories, stores, closed for a two week period specifically so workers could participate in local hops picking.
We used ladders and picked them from bushes that were 12-15 feet high. The smell of fresh picked hops was not forgotten.
Do they still do this or do they just harvest them with machinery? Hops is an annual plant; right?
