In the fall of 2012 I was checking around for places that can measure hop bitterness in beer (read about it in my post “Finding Bitterness“). At the time Western Michigan University was in the process of putting together a lab to support the huge beer scene in Michigan.
I received an email recently from Andre Venter, the Assistant Professor who is heading up this portion of the department at the university. They now have their website up and running (this is the address to the Western Hops Analysis site). This is a huge step for the growth of the hops industry and breweries of Michigan.
Time for a pint…

Good stuff! 🙂
Lotsa good stuff happening here
Definitely a cool resource for those who need it.
It is a huge thing for the growth of breweries and hops farming in Michigan.
