A moment of silence for thousands of hop cones that will never flavor
beer. A tragedy of unspeakable depths.
The other stations in the area are covering the story too. I'm sure
KAPP-TV will have something online. They put out a webcast, anyway.
I think it's at kapptv.com

Just curious. Do burning hops smell like pot?

Hurry and buy your hops before the prices go up.

They have a very acrid odor when they burn. Not at all like pot. And
whatever you do, do NOT try to smoke hops.

Speaking from personal experience there? ;) Actually I can't see how
they would be any worse than some of the other stuff people smoke.
Just because they are related to cannabis doesn't mean they have any
THC in them.

Would this have only a secondary impact on certain hops like Saaz?
Speaking of which, is there a breed like Saaz that can handle Texas weather?
