About this episode
Host Richie Tevlin and Co-Host Evan Blum talk with John Segal Jr., third-generation owner of Segal Ranch, a 470-acre family hop farm in the Yakima Valley of Washington State. Segal Ranch is best known for selling direct to craft breweries, bypassing traditional hop brokers, and has cultivated long-standing partnerships with some of the country's most respected brewers including Russian River, Lagunitas, and Founders. The ranch also made history as the first farm to commercially cultivate the Cascade hop, the variety that helped ignite American craft beer, and continues to breed innovative new varieties including Anchovy, Zumo, and Tangier.
