The threat of rain loomed high all weekend, but where the forecast had claimed clouds, blue sky broke through — and with it came heat. The heat warmed the air and delivered perfect conditions for our harvest on Pender Island. For the sixth year in a row, a dedicated team of local volunteers gathered along with us at Hope Bay Hop Farm to tackle this year’s crop of plump, juicy hops that go into our Wolf Vine Wet-Hopped Ale.
Building a History
Something we’ve been really proud of over the years are the relationships we’ve been able to build with our community. Often those relationships are obvious and we can see them growing from the get-go, like with suppliers or restaurants or staff, but occasionally a relationship forms that take years to coalesce — like our relationship with Richard, from Hope Bay Hop Farm on Pender Island.
