CBC Special #5: Segal Ranch (John Segal Jr.)

Host Richie Tevlin and Co-Host Evan Blum talk with John Segal Jr., third-generation owner of Segal Ranch, a 470-acre family hop farm in the Yakima Valley of Washington State. Segal Ranch is best known for selling direct to craft breweries, bypassing traditional hop brokers, and has cultivated long-standing partnerships with some of the country's most respected brewers including Russian River, Lagunitas, and Founders. The ranch also made history as the first farm to commercially cultivate the Cascade hop, the variety that helped ignite American craft beer, and continues to breed innovative new varieties including Anchovy, Zumo, and Tangier.   BrewedAt's CBC Special Series, releasing a new episode every day from April 27th through May 2nd, and again from May 5th through May 9th, in celebration of the 2026 Craft Brewers Conference in Philadelphia!   https://www.segalranch.com/ @SegalHopRanch _____________________________________________ THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS!: The Beer Accountant: https://www.paddymaccpa.com/brewerysolutions Patrick McDonald Email: [email protected] 267-566-4077 - Licensed CPA Norris McLaughlin P.A. https://norrismclaughlin.com/ted-zeller Ted Zeller Email: [email protected] (484) 765-2220 - Liquor Attorney _______________________________________ EPISODE NOTES: Mentioned Breweries Anchor Brewing - San Francisco, CA AB InBev  Sierra Nevada - Chico, CA Russian River Brewing - Santa Rosa, CA Lagunitas Brewing Co - Petaluma, CA Stone Brewing - San Diego, CA Human Robot - Epi 10, 15, & 62 - Philadelphia, PA Intuition Ale Works - Jacksonville, FL Tree House Brewing - Charlton, MA Other Half Brewing - Brooklyn, NY Mentioned People Frederick Louis "Fritz" Maytag III - Former Owner of Anchor Brewing Vinnie Cilurzo - Co-Owner of Russian River Chuck Zimmerman - Scientist & Hop Breeder Jeremy Marshall - Brewmaster of Lagunitas Brewing Co What We Drank?
