## Resource

This episode marks the anniversary of the show and the start of Season 2. Hard to believe we are still at it. Most podcasts end after 11 episodes. There is so much of you, the listeners, to blame for that. Thanks for joining us along the way. This week on the Beer Craft, we take a look under the hood of our favorite beer related vegetable, hops. Just what kind of alchemy goes on within the little green jewels and the kind of research that is happening right now that could forever change the beer landscape.
