Andy Roy, a fifth generation hop farmer from Moxee, WA, joins Sightglass for a conversation about the hop farming industry, the intrinsic link between the farmer and the brewer, and a recap of the 2019 hop harvest. Andy is a hops contract manager at his family farm, which has been around in the Yakima Valley for more than a century.
This podcast was recorded at the brewery just before Andy joined us as a guest speaker at our Tasting Tuesday: Fresh Hops, from Bine to Beer event in October 2019. Thanks to Andy for taking part in the podcast and the Tasting Tuesday event.
