Almost every beer made in the world uses dried hops, which are typically taken to a drying kiln, baled and sent to a chilled warehouse after harvesting. However, fresh hops are never dried. When the moment of perfect ripeness arrives, Ohio hop farmers call breweries and tell them their hops are ready. Brewers fire up their mash tuns and dispatch a truck to get the beautiful green hop cones in the brew, within hours of harvest. Each minute the hop is separated from the bine is crucial, so the closer the hop farm, the better.
