From Bine to Glass: A behind-the-scenes look at the 2025 hop harvest, following fresh green hops from Hukins Hops in Kent to breweries like Five Points and Beak as they brew with them within hours of picking. www.seanislegend.com/green-hop-beer

The summer sun has left us and that means no more street pints until next year. It’s too cold now, and the change happened far too quickly for my liking.

Congratulations to Thornbridge and Garrett for winning "New Beer of the Year" award for Strong Dark Mild at Brewer's Congress this week.

Had a lovely Sunday session at the Kings Arms with @thornbridge.bsky.social and Garrett Oliver. The energy in the pub was great; a real buzz about the place for these legends and their beer. Love to see it.

Next month @craftbeerchannel.bsky.social host their annual Love & Beer festival. It’s a celebration of all things beer and homebrewing. Here’s some photos from last year at Hackney Brewery (RIP).

I had a lovely day with David Bruce while photographing him for my latest @pelliclemag.com feature. He’s some character; bursting with energy, knowledge, and anecdotes for all things beer and hospitality. Read @philmellows.bsky.social story below.

I’m looking to collaborate with a London-based brewery brewing a green hop beer in the coming weeks. If your brewery is planning a green hop release, or you know a farm or brewer I should speak with, I’d love to connect. Please tag or share any leads.

A weekend in Leith.

Some photos from last summer.

Enjoyed an evening down at Five Points Courtyard with From The Ashe's nose-to-tail masterclass. A half lamb was butchered into multiple cuts and cooked over charcoal. The food was served with lovely side dishes and plenty of Five Points pints.

I loved working with @fred-gs.bsky.social again, this time for his feature on Rye's smuggling history. Very happy to make my @pelliclemag.com debut with this one.
