- Profile
In 2007, Chris, Brian, and friends planted their first 8 rhizomes in their garden very stoked at the idea of home-brewing with their own hops! After pounding their first harvest ale and loving every gulp, they expanded to 32 plants the following year. By year three, there 100 hills in the garden (vegetables got the boot!). Four years ago, Climbing Bines Hop Farm was established and roughly 1,500 hills were planted spanning 7 cultivars.
