A very special beer featuring FRESH hand-picked hops from Hukins Kent Hop Farm
Investigating this beer is perhaps like observing moss, or foraging for mushrooms. If you seek a punchy, easy thrill you won’t find it, but if you slow your pace, and sink into the landscape, wonders await you.
Collected in person from Hukins Hops and driven back to Manchester in our refrigerated van, this beer is made with fresh, plump, vibrantly green, aromatic crunchy hop flowers. To aid your open-minded investigation, we recommend that you savour a few sips, tumbling the beer around, and engaging your best retronasal tongue pumping action. Citrus! A berry! Sweet and fragrant spices! For the finer details it’s over to you…
We loved making this fresh hop beer so much we've put together a very special 40-minute film, documenting our trip to Hukins Hops, including behind-the-scenes footage of the hop growing and picking process, from the growing of the hop bines to the drying and baling of the hop flowers.
There is also a podcast where our MD Paul got to chat with Hukins horticultural specialist Tom and Hop Engineer Dave, who's been in the industry for 60 years, as they take us through the ever-changing landscape of hop farming in the UK and their personal experiences within it.
