4th Annual Great Lakes Hop and Barley Conference 2018
March 12-14 at the Radisson Plaza Hotel and Suites in Kalamazoo, Mich.
New this year, the conference features a beginning hop session the day prior to the conference on March 12. The main conference begins the morning of March 13 and again includes both hop and barley sessions with experts from around the world. Prominent national and international speakers will be on hand to discuss horticultural practices, pest and disease control, harvest and post-harvest practices, nutrient management and much more. There will also be a brewer/grower networking session that focuses on hop and malt barley quality. The session will provide growers with a better idea of quality requirements and help align the supply of Michigan grown hops and malt barley with brewer needs. The beer evangelist, Fred Beultmann, will be on hand to discuss food and craft beer pairing at the Tuesday night reception. Dozens of vendors will discuss the latest and greatest opportunities available for growers to improve production practices and enhance efficiency of their operations.
