Presenters: New York hop farmers; Eric Van Schoick, Brewery Ommegang; officials from the Cornell Cooperative Program

Brewery Ommegang is helping to reenergize the New York State hop farming industry. By partnering with local farmers, Ommegang developed Hopstate NY, an American pale ale using only state-grown hops. Ommegang brewer Eric Van Schoick discusses the collaboration with hop farmers and Cornell College to craft beers with hops from the brewery's own back yard. Attendees will sample Hopstate NY and Fleur de Houblon.
