Hops Harvest Festival

September 16, 2007

On Sunday, I joined my colleague Fons and his wife at a Hops Harvest Festival out in the Dutch Countryside. Since the weather was beautiful, the place was packed with people. The brewery hosting the festival is a green brewery, which means that they have special benefits for their employees as well as special production requirements.


After leaving the Harvest Festival, we hiked through the hops fields and then headed back to Fons' house for a nice dinner. We enjoyed our meal outdoors under the gorgeous hanging grape vines. Between dinner and desert, several sheep walked up into the backyard and serenaded us. I've never had a dinner quite like it and I will cherish the memory.
