    Don't forget that event updates are included on this thread!

    Tom Shellhammer will be presenting Choosing the Right Hops: How Regionality and Harvest Timing Together Shape Hop Quality. We think that his talk will pair nicely with Steve Bradt's 2025 Hop Harvest Report!

    Let us know what you think.
