DIRTY JOBS goes to Yakima

I caught a posting on beernews.org today about a broadcast of the Discovery Dirty Jobs show in Yakima county at Hop Union. Thought I would share in case anyone wants to watch. I missed tonights showing but I will surely catch one of the later broadcasts.

Here is the Beernews.og post:

More info at The Brookston Beer Bulletin.

The discovery channel site has an interesting blurb on the episode:

    "Mike travels to Yakama, Washington to harvest hops, the main ingredient in beer...."

Very interesting, I had no idea hops were the main ingredient in beer. Here I was thinking it was water and malt sugar from barley, silly me.
