What’s your favourite hop?
I’d have to say El Dorado®. I just love the soft peach and melon flavours it can bring when used correctly. However, I normally find that it is in conjunction with another hop.

Favourite beer destination?
Yakima Valley – not necessarily for the beer but to be surrounded by that many fresh hops, hop growers and brewers during harvest is a special thing.
