The Cazenovia Public Library will welcome Madison County Historian Matthew Urtz and local business owner Chad Meigs to the community room at 7 p.m. on Thursday, August 30. In their presentation, “Hops in Cazenovia: Then and Now,” Urtz will explore the history of hops and brewing in Madison County, and Meigs will discuss modern hop growing, harvesting and preparation. Meigs is co-owner of the Bineyard, a new hops processing and distribution center in Cazenovia.
The lecture will be held in anticipation of the 2018 Madison County Hop Festival this September. The festival will begin with a paired beer dinner at Empire Farm Brewery on Friday, September 14.
