We’re Long Way From 20 Million Pounds,

But Hops Rebound, Bullard Tells GOHS

Hops history expert Al Bullard of Milford holds up a garland of hops flowers as his began his address at the Greater Oneonta Historical Society's annual dinner last evening at Toscana's on Chestnut Street. In 1880, the Central NY hops region produced 20 million pounds of hops, and we're a long way from that, Bullard said, but 20 years ago there were no commercial hops being grown in Otsego County at all. The Farm Brewery Act of 2012, which requires 90 percent of ingredients be grown in state by 2022, has changed that, he said. Sixty people – a full house – attended the dinner, a fundraiser for the GOHS. (allotsego.com)
