Fresh Hop w/ Brewer’s Gold Brewday

This beer comes from the first results of Osborn Brewing’s Hop Farming activities. Brent was gracious enough to drop by a couple of bines of Brewer’s Gold this morning on the way back to Monroe, which meant that once I finished office hours, it was time to punch that fresh hop ticket yet again. That first one in the bottle can’t carbonate quick enough!
