THE HOP STONE


I received this mosaic garden stone, that you make in the comfort of your own home, as a gift a few years ago. I decided to finally "make" it with the child. We sorted out the glass that came with the kit into its different colors and found bottle caps to match.

WHITE—Guinness
RED—New Belgium Brewing
ORANGE—Deschutes Brewing
YELLOW—Kona Brewing
GREEN—Longhammer IPA
BLUE—Alaska Brewing

When we were "making" it, the wife joined in, so it became a family project. We let it dry and cure for two weeks. Yesterday, the child and I took advantage of the 80° weather and gardened. The hop stone went into one of the corners to bring hop and barley goodness to all of our plants.
