From Hop Farm to Wet Hop IPA... Firkins for Films

​

In this video we visit Sunny Brae Hop Farm in Carlisle, PA to meet with Adam and Diana for a tour of their beautiful hop farm. We then head to Root Down Brewing Company in Phoenixville, PA with Sunny Brae's fresh Cascade hops to include in Root Down's all Pennsylvania IPA. The video continues with a party at Root Down where we serve the IPA wet-hopped with Cascade hops from a Firkin to raise money for the historic Colonial Theatre.

 

Special thanks to Adam and Diana from Sunny Brae Hop Farm, Mike & Steve from Root Down Brewing Company, Emily from The Colonial Theatre, Lynda from Fox and Phoenix, Ashley from Riverworks, and all of our 'Movie Buffs' who contributed their favorite movies. What a great event and fantastic fundraiser! Cheers!!!!!
