For farmers in New York State, how does hemp stack up against hops? Laura Ten Eyck of Indian Ladder Farms and Dietrich Gehring of Indian Ladder Farms Cidery and Brewery—who grow hemps and hops are co-authors of The Hop Grower’s Handbook—join Jimmy to weigh in. Attorney Max Bookman tells the story of New York state’s slow trek towards adult-use marijuana legalization, and whether we might . They talk about annual hemp versus perennial hops, CBD, the role of the gubernatorial primary in marijuana legalization, the multitude of uses of hemp, and, if hemp is so useful, why it’s been illegal for so long.

In this episode of On the Road with Beer Sessions Radio, host Jimmy Carbone travels to the Capital region near Albany, New York. You’ll hear from the farmers of Indian Ladder Farms about how they became leaders in the region for growing hops, and about how the farm brewery license, created by lawmakers in the nearby capital, has enhanced their business and made their farm more viable. The license to brew and serve beer on site has allowed local beverage producers to prosper. In the nearby town of Rensselaerville, you’ll meet the people behind a brewery that is primarily dedicated to learning the best ways to use New York State grains and hops in beer. Finally, we visit the capitol building in Albany and a nearby brewer who has chosen not to source completely locally-- for some unexpected reasons. Carey Institute / Helderberg Brewery Helderberg Brewery is a project of the Carey Institute’s Sustainable Communities Program, located on the Carey Institute’s 100-acre estate in Rensselaerville. It is a fully operational farm brewery and brewery incubator led by Rebecca Platel, the Sustainable Communities Program and Brewery Manager, and Greg Hostash, the Head brewer. Helderberg works to build a farm-to-glass supply chain connecting farmers, malt houses and craft beverage producers in the Capital Region. They've hosted workshops since 2013 for farmers interested in growing hops and small grains, and provide frequent hands-on learning and technical workshops for the region’s many craft beverage producers. Indian Ladder Farms Laura Ten Eyck, the great granddaughter of Indian Ladder Farms founder, Peter Ten Eyck, and her husband, Dietrich Gehrig, are continuing their family’s century-old tradition of living close to the land. What began in 1916 as a dairy farm with Guernsey cattle has developed over four generations to become a prolific apple orchard that yields delicious cider. Indian Ladder Farms now grows its own hops and barley, much to the delight of those who have a passion for the beer they brew. Their vision is to stay “hyper-local,” growing ingredients and making their own products for the Albany community while preserving the pristine landscape via a land trust. Laura and Dietrich recently published The Hop Grower’s Handbook, which provides an inspiring account of the history of hop cultivation on the land surrounding their farm as well as practical guidance for those who would like to join the ‘farm to glass’ movement. C.H. Evans Brewing Co. / Albany Pump Station Now located in the original water pumping station for the Albany Water Works, C. H. Evans Brewing Co. has been the work of the Evans family for three generations. Their original brewery was built in Hudson, NY in 1786 and it continued production until prohibition in 1920. In 1999, Neil Evans decided to revive his family’s historic brewery. Today, Neil and Head Brewer Scott Veltman, formerly of Brewery Ommegang, are rebuilding the Evans' beer legacy by sourcing ingredients from local farmers as frequently as possible and recreating historic early 19th century recipes like Albany Ale. C.H. Evans also has developed new classics; such as their Award-winning English style Kick-Ass Brown Ale, a real crowd pleaser.

Laura operates Indian Ladder Farmstead Brewery and Cidery in Altamont, New York with her husband, Dietrich. The two have been growing hops and brewing beer at home while working to restore local hop production in the northeast. Their orchard has been in Ten Eyck's family for four generations, and she and Dietrich have lived there for more than twenty-five years, growing fruits and vegetables for sale to restaurants, gardening extensively, and raising animals, including sheep for meat and wool, dairy goats for milk, and chickens for eggs and meat. Laura is also the author of The Hop Grower's Handbook: The Essential Guide for Sustainable Small-Scale Production for Home and Market (published by Chelsea Green).
It’s hard to think about beer these days without thinking about hops. That’s why Jimmy Carbone is dedicating an entire episode of Beer Sessions Radio to hops! He’s joined by Laura Ten Eyck & Deitrich Gehring of Indian Ladder Farms/Helderberg Hop Farm, co-authors The Hop Grower’s Handbook, Stuart Morris of Indian Ladder Farms, Joel Ford, assistant brewer at Threes Brewing & Stephen Valand of Brooklyn Brew Shop. “There’s a difference between vines and bines. Grapes are considered vines and they have tendrils and that’s how they pull themselves up. Hops are bines, they don’t have tendrils they have tri-combs and that’s how they pull themselves up.” [10:00] –Deitrich Gehring on Beer Sessions Radio “Hops have great antibacterial properties and they’re good for treating infections. When you make beer with hops, the hops act as a preservative. This made beer last long and expanded the trade of beer.” [40:00] — Laura Ten Eyck on Beer Sessions Radio
It’s hard to think about beer these days without thinking about hops. The runaway craft beer market’s convergence with the ever-expanding local foods movement is helping to spur a local-hops renaissance. The demand from craft brewers for local ingredients to make beer―such as hops and barley―is robust and growing. That’s good news for farmers looking to diversify, but the catch is that hops have not been grown commercially in the eastern United States for nearly a century. Learn more on a hoppy episode of The Farm Report as Erin Fairbanks is joined by Laura Ten Eyck and Dietrich Gehring, co-authors of The Hop Grower’s Handbook: The Essential Guide for Sustainable, Small-Scale Production for Home and Market. Jimmy Carbone, host of Beer Sessions Radio is in the studio as well! This program was brought to you by Route 11 Potato Chips. “Hops puts flavor in your glass. Everybody identifies craft beer with hops – and it’s what took people away from commercial beer without any flavor.” [06:00] –Jimmy Carbone on Beer Sessions Radio “New York was the epicenter for growing hops in the late 1800’s. In 1880, 80% of the hops grown in the country were grown in New York State, many of those being grown int he area around Cooperstown.” [09:00] –Laura Ten Eyck on The Farm Report
On this week’s episode of The Farm Report, Leah Eden interviews Laura Ten Eyck, a hop farmer at Helderberg Hop Farm in upstate New York. Laura tells us about her farm’s introduction to growing hops for commercial production. She describes for us what it takes to plant and harvest hops, as well as the unique needs of a hop plant. This program has been sponsored by White Oak Pastures. Music provided by Obey City. “One things hops really don’t like is a lot of moisture. They need a lot of water but they not a humid climate.” [6:40] “A full acre has about a thousand hop plants growing on it.” [16:50] Laura Ten Eyck on The Farm Report
This week the Farm Report is abuzz with bees and honey. Joining host Erin Fairbanks is bee lover and owner of Catskill Provisions, Claire Marin, who imparts us with her encyclopedic knowledge of these creatures from mating habits, to how to start your own apiary, to why raw honey is best. Later on Adam Diehl, a maple syrup farmer who supplies Catskill Provisions, with his syrup tells us all about how to tap a maple, especially in this crazy February weather. Finally, tune in for a very special extended edition segment with Laura Ten Eyck of the American Farmland Trust who fills us in on the No Farms, No Food rally coming up in Albany and how you can do your part to fight for a more transparent food system. This episode is sponsored by White Oak Pastures “Always buy raw honey that hasn’t been heated above 93 degrees . . it retains all the good stuff that way, all the antibiotic properties and antioxidants.” “Bees are amazing . . . they can teach us about efficiency, democracy . .we can learn a lot from them.” –Claire Marin on The Farm Report
