Vodcast #34 Port Brewing’s High Tide from The Lost Abbey on Vimeo.
Inspired Beer for Sinners and Saints Alike
Last week, we harvested hops from a local farmer out of Fallbrook. We had several volunteers come to the brewery and help pick hops off the vines; we had lunch, drank, beer and worked hard together. Ryan, our Multimedia Supervisor, captured the entire event; his goal was to make a short video about the beer and the event, but something went wrong. Come Day 1 of editing Ryan attempted to load the footage he shot on to his computer and discovered it had been corrupted. Many more attempts were made, on a number of computers, but still the footage couldn’t be recovered. Ryan apologizes for the mishap and has decided to explain the event and the beer for you in this video.
In this episode of Tasting Notes, Tomme presents High Tide, Fresh Hop IPA.
A couple weeks ago we threw some photos on the website pertaining to harvesting fresh hops in Yakima Valley, Washington. Then last week, as if you weren’t already hopped out, we brought to you The Making of High Tide IPA. Now, because we believe you can never have too many hops, we bring to you a short educational video narrated by our very own DOBO (Director of Brewery Operations), Tomme Arthur giving a little more depth to the photos and explaining the process.
These photos are from one of Tomme’s trips to Yakima, Washington. With our High Tide release right around the corner we thought you’d be interested in seeing where the hops for the beer come from and how they are harvested and packed. Pretty interesting stuff.
