The twelfth annual Madison County Hop Festival takes place this Saturday, September 15, at Cottage Lawn (Madison County Historical Society) in Oneida. The event features displays about hop cultivation and history, vendors of hop- and beer-related products, live music, the naming of the 2007 Hop Queen, and of course a sampling of beers from many quality breweries from around New York State and the USA (and beyond). I've attended about seven of the previous eleven fests, and it's always been fun. I reviewed the 2005 Hop Fest for Maltblog.
