When he isn't doing radio color commentary, Dan Gladden is spending time out at his farm, hunting and growing hops.
He shows us his crop. It is a really interesting crop that grows vertically. Harvest time is coming up.
Dan donates his hops to Unmapped Brewing Company in Minnetonka, and for that, he gets free beer!
They have a big event coming up on Labor Day September 3rd from 12-6pm, hop-picking is open to the public, Pick a bucket, get a beer. They are kid friendly and dog-friendly.
Here is more information on growing hops in Minnesota.
Thanks to Dan for inviting us!
