Wisconsin hops featured on MN Public Radio

On Septemeber 27, 2011, Matt Sweeny of Simple Earth Hops was interviewed by Dara Moskowitz Grumdahl who is a Senior Editor at Minnesota Monthly. This interview was used as content in an article "Dining with Dara: Hops to make locavores happy" and broadcast on Minnesota Public Radio's "All Things Considered" on September 29. This well written article by Dara also includes an interview with Todd Haug, brewer at Surly Brewing Company of Brooklyn Center, MN. Here is a short clip from the Sept., 29 article from MNPR:
"I'm pushing for this whole industry to be different," Sweeny told me. He wants local producers to sell to local brewers, build relationships, and see themselves as partners to brewers, who in general are artisans or craftspeople and whop don't see themselves as run-of-the-mill widget makers.
