Hops from Plant to Pint with Jake TeSelle, Crooked Yard Hops Farm

For our February 4th Virtual Meetup we were joined by Jake TeSelle, the farmer behind Crooked Yard Hops Farm in Bozeman, Montana. Jake talked about the hops production process with a plant to pint overview of what goes into getting the myriad of hops flavors into your favorite beers!
