Federal grant money is to be awarded to a local
brewers guild to help promote local hop production. Guild organizers feel Michigan has an opportunity to supply
breweries throughout the region with high-quality hops.
According to excerpts from the story in the
Kalamazoo Gazette:
The Michigan Brewers Guild will
receive $74,000 in federal dollars to help promote Michigan-grown hops.
Guild president Scott Graham said he learned Thursday his organization, which
represents more than 60 breweries around the state, would get the funding. The
MBG is one of 21 projects selected by the Michigan
Department of Agriculture to share$1.4 million in grants to
create, enhance or expand agriculture development ventures across the state.
