Fresh Hop Brown 2020

 Although 2020 summer was very hot and dry (record hottest summer ever and drought conditions in September), or maybe because of, the harvest was robust at 11 oz.  A review of past hop harvest show the record at 15 oz in 2011 and next highest 12 in 2010.  Still 11 is a very goog harvest and way above recent years.
