E273: Hop Tea and Hop Water with Hoplark

Beer Guys Radio Craft Beer Podcast

Hoplark with Hot Talk on Hop Tea and Hop Water

You know we love our beer, but we do dabble in alternative beverages. This week we're getting all fancy and sipping tea... with plenty of hops.

Hoplark co-founder Dean Eberhardt joins us on the show this week to talk about his Hop Tea and Hop Water. We learn what got the ball rolling on Hoplark, and we get educated on the many varieties of teas.

We ask Dean for some pairing suggestions for his hop teas, but he tries to get us to exercise and tells us the pair great with a long bike ride. That may be, but I'm gonna try mine with some wings, Dean.

Seriously, though. These teas and waters are pretty tasty and give you another choice if you want something crafty and hoppy but can't (or don't want to) have alcohol. Take one into the next meeting with your boss and sip it while he goes over those quarterly reports. It will make it so much better.

Since there's no alcohol you can get Hoplark direct from their website at www.hoplark.com. They're also available in whole foods, with future plans to get distribution at bottle shops. Check 'em out.

Their core varieties are:

• The Citra Bomb | White Tea double dry-hopped with Citra
• The Really Hoppy One | Black Tea with Simcoe and Citra (this is the one for IPA fans)
• The Green Tea One | Green tea and Mosaic
• The White Tea One | White Tea with Lemondrop and Simcoe (lighter, Tim dug this one)
• We also tried the Sabro and Mosaic Hop Waters and those are pretty dope.
