Message from the NHGA President
Greetings fellow Hop Heads!
As our spring is winding down here at 6th Meridian, we’re excited to see another season of hops chasing the sun up the coir. Every year brings new challenges and friends.
Nebraska Hops, Craft Beer A Growing Industry
On a recent weekday afternoon, people sat chatting over pints of IPA, kolsch and porter at Zipline Brewing Company’s taproom in Lincoln. Now in its fourth year, this brewery is one of several to sprout up across Nebraska in the last decade. Tom Wilmoth is Zipline’s co-founder and current president of the Nebraska Craft Brewers Guild. He said the increasing number of Nebraska craft brewers has begun to collectively focus on elevating their quality and brand.
