Nice cones Glen, wish mine were that big. My chinooks are going wild, about 11 feet tall and small cones forming, the cascades are doing well also at about 6ft tall. I heard Newbelgium is going to use your hops on a special release beer soon, is that true, what is it going to be?

My mistake Glen I was talking about Odell! I think I got new belgium from watching the video a while ago. So do you know what Odell's gonna do or do they just keep that a secret? I'm not sure where I read it but I thought something was coming out in fall with your hops being used?
