We've brewed our annual fresh green hop beer, with hops from local growers collective Grow Beer. It's a version of our Bunny Hop Pale Ale, and launches on 19 October. Green hop beers can only be made during the hop harvest this month and have a distinct fresh taste. Come and try it while it lasts!
A paper sack full of bright green fresh hops. They smell incredibly spicy and peppery. Sacks of malt and weighing scales. A brewing vessel (kettle) full of hot wort (the sugary malty liquid that will become beer once it has fermented) and fresh bright green hops. The wort in the kettle boiling with hops on the surface that have already lost their colour after a few seconds in the hot liquid.
