Everything Is Coming Up ... Hops!

We're transforming the deck at Dogfish Head Brewings & Eats into a Hop Garden!!!!!

Step one... plant hops!

We've planted 14 varieties of hop plants along our outdoor deck. The plants are poking through and as summer progresses, we'll be tending to the garden.

We've planted 14 varieties of hop plants along our outdoor deck. The plants are poking through and as summer progresses, we'll be tending to the garden. We'll be training the plants up and over the deck... for your dining pleasure (the shade... the smell... it'll be heavenly!)

All the hops are varieties that we use in our beers... and come harvest time... you can count on something special coming out of the brewpub brewery!

At the right, you see Brewer/Distiller Mike Gerhart and Sous Chef Marcel Lavallee planting our hops.
