Between thumb and forefinger he held a single green cone. When it was over, he stood and turned to face me. Like a phantom - in slow motion - he sidestepped and back-bent, dodging and spinning, evading each piece of my attack until my bags were empty. The room was instantly filled with green debris as I flung ounce after ounce of hop cones at the boil pot. “Your Master has taught you well.” I ripped off my beer apron. I bowed to the stranger, knowing what must happen next. He knew how to brew, perhaps more than I did. I didnʼt know who he was, but his training was evident.

He stepped into the flickering glow of my fire.īefore either of us could blink, we both leapt. Like a shadow, he slipped across the pine boards of my shack until, by good fortune or bad, the steam from my boil pot wrapped around him, revealing his dark outline.
