Who loves cask ale? We all love cask ale! But it's in danger of fading away so sign this petition and let's try and give it a boost 🍻
We got invited to Parliament to talk about our UNESCO campaign on the same day that our petition to get cask ale recognised as Living Heritage went live on the government website!

Handing out some hop plants at @trackbrewingco.bsky.social so it would be rude not to celebrate Sonoma's 10th birthday 🍻

Who fancies growing some of these this year? Last year we got 75kg from our growers around Manchester and @trackbrewingco.bsky.social turned them into lovely beer. This year we want more! If you want to join in get in touch 🍻

Not sure about Kent but Manchester is going from strength to strength!

Can Kent's hop industry survive?
Demand for traditional hops has still not recovered to pre-pandemic levels. Inevitably, many farmers have had to switch to other crops

We've not posted much on Bluesky but hope to post more in the future.

Here's our 2024 harvesting plan.

We Need Your Hops!

As we're expanding with Track Brewing Co, we need all the hops we can get.

What better first post that a five year old Fuggle in full cone?

For a sense of scale, the pergola this grows up is 2m high.
This year 2kg of fresh hop cones were harvested from this one plant.
