Free hops at Fremont Oktoberfest

[agusus]

Thank you Michelob! (Never thought I'd say that...!)

The Michelob area at Fremont Oktoberfest last night had chests full of 0.5oz bags of Hallertau hops (nitrogen packed I assume). I got about 6-8 bags, so now I have 3 or 4 oz of free Hallertau.

I doubt there were many other homebrewers, if any, there taking hops. A few people just took bags and ripped them open to throw the hops on a table and smell them. Felt kind of like a waste, but at least not too many bags went that way.

If you're going to the festival today, they might have more left, not sure.

Obviously they don't use them in their beer, so they may as well give them away...
