Episode 80: 2026 Hops and Brewing with Flowables

Mid-August means attention is starting to shift to the hop fields of North America where soon enough harvest will begin. It’s a good time to take stock, catch up with the industry, and to get excited about advancements in the space and this year’s crop. On this episode we first chat with Michelle Palacios of the Oregon Hop Commission about this year's crop. Then, it's a conversation with Joel Franklin of Florida's Wood Foot Brewery on how he is using flowables and advanced hop products in his small batch beers.
