Beer Hops are getting ready

Farmer Leon is anticipating the Hops will be ready at the end of August.  The vines are showing abundant buds and the word is out to all of the members of the Imperial Beach Beer Guild to get ready for making some beer.

Not only are Hops used in making beer but they have been used in the past for medicinal purposes.  The buds can be shreded and then placed in a hot water to make a tea which some claim can aid in digestion and help in insomnia.(it helps you sleep)
