The practical application of scientific principles to the art of hop agriculture and brewing science
G’day Mates! This week we take a break from our North America-centric focus and get into it with our Australia growers. Don’t be a yabbo, we’ll give you the John Dory on the market down under and hopefully not make a dog’s breakfast of the whole thing.
