Morning Tour of the NC State Hop Yard-New Varieties
- This event has passed.
Event Navigation
Come see the progress being made in breeding new hop varieties for the Southeast. Join our breeder, Dr. Luping Qu, in the hop yard where he will describe his hop breeding program and compare his new lines with popular commercial varieties.
Hop yields are low in North Carolina because commercially available varieties were bred for northern latitudes. To make hop production economically feasible for North Carolina farmers, we need varieties that produce high yields of good quality hops.
This event is open to anyone interested in hops, but with an emphasis on growers, brewers, and other users of locally grown hops. This event will take place rain or shine.
Sponsorships are available (contact Margaret_Bloomquist@ncsu.edu).
Attendance is free, but please pre-register through Eventbrite:
