Hop Drop: 2013 Hop Harvest Now Available at Siciliano's

Forget snow angels, this is
the world's first Amarillo hop angel
By Doug Dorda

Attention all ye cohumulone connoisseurs! Rejoice, you alpha acid aficionados! Tis the season for giving, and our friends at LD Carlson have given us reason to believe that it is now, truly, the most wonderful time to make beer.

Though this intro has been about as subtle as a kick in the teeth, even for those of us that don’t emanate floral hop bouquets from every follicle, we are pleased to announce that the 2013 hop harvest in now available at Siciliano’s Market.

The news comes a week late, and for that I apologize, yet there is a glorious silver lining to these late tidings. Along with the rest of the classic hop varietals homebrewers adore, allocations of highly coveted strains such as Mosaic, Simcoe, and (you guessed it) Amarillo have become available in quantities so large that we are happy to report there is currently no limit on how much of these strains you can buy. Further bolstering this good news: There have been NO price increases for hops this year!

In summation, not only are all of the hops you desire available, they appear to be (for the moment, at least) in bountiful supply and priced the same as their past-season counterparts. To you coneheads, we say this, "Come and get ‘em!"

Despite the good news above, please note that prices and availability are always subject to change. For current availability and pricing please contact us at (616)453-9674, or email me at doug@sicilianosmkt.com.
