Craft beer reintroduces some science into the process, too.

“During the trip we saw several planned pilot breweries at these farms, and the farmers had as many questions about the brewing process as we did the hop growing process. One of these very generous and inquisitive farmers led us through a 16 acre breeding field with 8,500 plants of different, personally cross-pollinated varieties, most of them doomed to extinction by selection, but one or two maybe destined to be the nest [sic] Cascade or Simcoe. This symbiotic understanding of each others’ profession can only spark collaboration, innovation, and generation spanning relationships that will be the legendary brand building blocks of the future. It will be key for brewers and farmers to work together to ensure that the future of American brewing can realize its full potential. There will only be so much land, time, and resources to harvest the right amount of varieties and overall yield, and the hop farmers are ready to jump into the awesome challenges ahead of us.”

Yes, all the links are broken.

On June 1, 2015 (after 6 years and 11 months) I needed to relaunch/restart this blog, or at least rekindle my interest in maintaining and updating it.

Rather than delete and discard the whole thing, I instead moved the blog -- database, cms, files, archives, and all -- to this subdomain. When you encounter broken links (and you will encounter broken links) just change the URL in the address bar from www.rocketbomber.com to archive.rocketbomber.com.

I know this is inconvenient, and for that I apologise. In addition to breaking tens of thousands of links, this also adversely affects the blog visibility on search engines -- but that, I'm willing to live with. Between the Wayback Machine at Archive.org and my own half-hearted preservation efforts (which you are currently reading) I feel nothing has been lost, though you may have to dig a bit harder for it.

As always, thank you for reading. Writing version 1.0 of Rocket Bomber was a blast. For those that would like to follow me on the 2.0 - I'll see you back on the main site.

In my head, I sound like Yahtzee (quite a feat, given my inherited U.S.-flat-midwestern-accent.)
