A buddy at work just gave me a Hallertau plant.
Hallertau is a noble hop most commonly used for brewing beer. It’s the common hop found in German wheat beer, and might just be my favorite.
The term noble hops traditionally refers to varieties of hop which are low in bitterness and high in aroma.
The hop plant is a vigorous climbing herbaceous perennial, usually grown up strings like green beans,
It probably won’t produce any hops this year, but man I can’t wait till next spring.

Bloomberg (link) is reporting that Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, showed off a sample coin of a “united future world currency.” at the G8.
“Here it is,”
Medvedev told reporters
“You can see it and touch it.”
It seems like we are certainly close now to having a sample coin show to the press and reported by the AP media. This one world currency is no long just for conspiracy sites, it’s main stream news.
