Boskoopse Verse Hop Blond
Once a year fresh Cascade hop is harvested from the garden of Jan Kees Velthoven, a fellow hobby-brewer in Boskoop. From the fresh harvested hops a beer is brewed the same day.In 2021 a Blond-beer with a Kveik yeast, in 2022 a more traditional Blond-beer.
Harvesting the hops at 10:00, starting brewing around 12:00 and a BBQ around 19:00, with a home-brewed beer in the glass; a very nice tradition!
Recommended drinking temperature: 6...8oC
