Summit Land Conservancy's Hops Hunters Program concluded on August 27th with an extremely successful harvest! Volunteers gathered in the wee hours of the morning to collect wild hops from the viable populations growing on the Empire Canyon Silver King and Prospect Ridge properties protected by the Conservancy. After the harvest, our enthusiastic volunteers reconvened on the back loading dock of Wasatch Brew Pub, and spent hours trimming hops cones from piles of bines (yes, they are called bines, it is not a typo) collected throughout the morning. In the end, a total of 42.5 pounds of wild hops were harvested and readied for the brewing process. Our special edition open space beer will be "unveiled" to the public at a celebratory party held at Wasatch Brew Pub on the night of October 23rd - it is sure to be a fun evening for everyone! We will need volunteers around the beginning of October to help hang posters and get the word out about this exciting event, so stay tuned!
