Updated details of the MBAA, District Ontario, Hop Field Day. Due to unusual climate conditions many Ontario hop growers have faced difficulties growing hops this year including our original host, GoodLot Farm in Caledon ON. Hop Field Day will now take place at Niagara College. This event invites people to understand how one of the most important ingredients, hops, are grown, harvested, processed before it ends up in beer. This is an excellent opportunity to meet with hop growers and researchers, and brewers.
Come out and enjoy a fun and educational day at Niagara College!
