One of the best involved Right Brain's Grahamercy Local Hop Ale and the Karma Palace IPA which were made with locally grown hops. Russ Springsteen, Right Brain's very own 'big idea guy,' told us this tale.
After hearing about Right Brain's situation amid the hop crisis, a local retiree summering in Traverse City returned in March with over 2,000 rhizomes. A loyal army of volunteers helped Right Brain staff harvest the hops, and they had enough of a harvest to create these two brews, with some left over to share.
