<p>Jim Koch, owner of Sam Adams Brewery, is sitting on 10 tons of excess hops this year. What do you do with 10 tons of hops when there is a worldwide hops price crisis? Why, you sell them at wholesale rates to small brewers so local beer connoisseurs can get the beers that they love! The brewery will sell 10,000 pounds of East Kent Goldings from Great Britain and 10,000 pounds of Tettnang Tettnanger from small farms in the Tettnang region in Germany.</p>
<p>This is a very nice gesture from a small brewer who made it big. Seems like Jim remembers where he came from.</p>
