90% of my hippy beers are bittered with Columbus.

Hippy beers, eh?  Do they come out tie-dyed?  Do they reek of patchouli?  Do you dry hop with a dreadlock?   :o

I did an all-Zeus IPA a couple years ago and definitely got the onion character that some people mention.  It was a decent beer, just a bit one-sided.  This past weekend I brewed one with all homegrown hops.  Sterling to bitter, then a hopburst of Zeus, Chinook, and Willamette.  Planning to DH with the same.  Should be a winner, although using homegrowns to bitter is kind of a gamble.
