I'll never forget the scent as it brushed across my brow. The thin bands of heat scouring my skin. These bine jungles capturing me inside a sea an entire world surfed upon. There I found something real. Something that could capture me. A memoir of the first moment I had with my future, written together with our friends at Yakima Chief Hops. This year they are inspired by the 2026 crop of hops coming from New Zealand, and some of the newest hops to sprout up in Yakima. Double dry-hopped with Krush, HBC 1183, Nectaron and Superdelic, and finished with Nectaron Hyperboost and Nelson Hyperboost.
