Got hops?

I had a pretty decent crop this year with the hot and wet weather we had, so I thought I would show you guys some pictures.
Some people get confused by hops, they are not a grain, they grow on vines and make little buds and that is the part used in beer.
This particular variety is Cascade.
They can grow up to 40 feet high, mine are about 20.
The big one in the foreground is about the size of your thumb.
If you've ever had Sierra nevada Pale Ale you have had Cascade hops.
