And we did it in, uh, Prosser, Washington.

And, um, which is an interesting place, and we were extremely well received there.

Kickoff is also at 5.30.

There are events all weekend long with sunrise launches every day.

The Great Prosser Balloon Rally runs from early Friday morning through Sunday evening.

[upbeat music] Welcome to Craft Beer & Brewing podcast.

I'm Jamie Bogner, and for this special episode, produced in partnership with Hopsteiner, we are sitting out in the middle of a hop field, an experimental field here at the, uh, Golden Gate Farm for Hopsteiner up in Prosser, Washington.

And, uh, you know what? There is nothing like recording a podcast sitting amongst fully, like, hop bines with big cones on them, dripping off of them.

[laughs]

Um, it's a flavor profile that you're trying to reach, and there's, there's a lot of opportunities out there to do the same thing, but in a way that, that is, um, better for the bottom line.

Well, that is a great place to bring it to a close.

Thank you to Hofsteiner for partnering with us to produce this episode out here in a beautiful hop field at the Hofsteiner Farm here in Prosser, Washington.

Um, Roger, Ryan, Peter, thank you guys so much for talking with us, uh, about brewing, about hops, about the current state of it, about these advanced hop products, about, uh, building efficiency into processes, about reducing costs, improving quality, all of those kinds of things.
