Video: Harvesting Hops in Yakima Valley, Washington

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.
