Yakima Chief Hops will hold their 2021 Hop & Brew School from Aug. 30 through Sept. 3 and will again include both hop industry insights and technical brewing seminars.
Now in its 18th year, Hop & Brew School will be a virtual event for the second year in a row due to the pandemic.
This year’s schedule features sessions surrounding new discoveries in advanced hop research, hop application best practices, hop sensory training, a deep dive into the beyond beer beverage category and homebrew tips. Participants will also receive an inside look at organic hop growing and experimental hop development. Speakers include both hop industry experts and veteran brewers.
“This year, we are focused on providing valuable technical content to help brewers take their beers to the next level,” says Kevin Soules, YCH Marketing Lead. “We look forward to creating this platform for experts in the industry to share their knowledge with brewers across the globe.”
Farm tours are typically a major component of the Hop & Brew School® program. While they are unable to host in-person tours, they have created virtual Grower Profiles for an inside look at family farms.
