Yeah, Glacier, Vanguard, Sterling, Crystal and a few others were "subs" for hops you couldn't get during the shortage. I'm going to try it at some point.My daughter is in Teter-Whissler (did I spell that right?) and there is AC. Thank Jeebus too because it was hot as bawls there this week and uber-humid. I went out on Tuesday evening to grab stuff from the car and I was completely soaked after 2 or 3 trips. The next day the roommate's dad and brother were doing it and they were dripping. My daughter caught up with one of her HS buds while we were there and he said his dorm has NO AC. Ugh. Cheers Friend.Funny, I was in Teter-Boisen. Not that thrilled with it at first, but at the time it was one of the few dorms with AC. Had a great assigned roommate. The place grew on me and I stayed there for soph. year too. I say make a special bitter and feature Glacier in it. I'd be willing to bet a lot of people here have used it and will chime in. My understanding is that it was pretty ubiquitous during the hop shortage. I wasn't brewing back then.

I just tapped my latest APA and hopped it with Mount Hood for bittering, Mosaic for flavor, and Amarillo for aroma....might be the best hop combo I've tasted in my brews. Really flavorful and aromatic but no overly citrusy which is a nice change.
Cheers beerdudes!

Sounds yum. I would expect Mt. Hood, Mosaic and Amarillo to dance harmoniously with each other. Nicely done Mr. Mace!I just tapped my latest APA and hopped it with Mount Hood for bittering, Mosaic for flavor, and Amarillo for aroma....might be the best hop combo I've tasted in my brews.

Yep and I have heard cascade can be rough when used for bittering, is that true?
Not for my tastes.
