Beer Geeks S02E03 - 47Hops

Michael Ferguson travels to Washington state's Yakima Valley, where 75% of America's hops are produced, to get an up-close look at how that key ingredient in Beer gets from farm to brewery. Hop merchant Doug MacKinnon, owner of the 47Hops company, takes Michael on a tour inside it all, including a 60 year old family-owned processing plant that looks like something from Wille Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Michael brews with Doug's Hops at Sound Brewery in Poulsbo, Washington, cooks with some of Sound's beer, and shares a fabulous pairing dinner.
