We will be sourcing all our main hops from three hop gardens in Kent in 2013. Scotney Castle hop garden is owned by the National Trust. Ian Strang produces choice Target and Progress hops which are used in our Grasshopper, Scotney Ales and the Viceroy India Pale Ale. It is the last hop garden in Lamberhurst. Ian won an award in 2013 for the best Target hops in Kent and Silver medal in the National Hop Awards. Finchcocks' hop garden is on the other side of the River Bewl from Scotney. Ian Strang is also farming the superb quality Goldings, WGV, Progress and Bramling Cross hops which go into many of our beers. Finchcocks' is one of only two hop gardens left in Goudhurst parish. Hulme hop garden in Wingham supplies the Northdown hops used for bitterness in several of our beers. In 2013 we also hope to secure our First Gold for the Summer Perle from Stuart Highwood. Without these valiant hop farmers we would never be able to enjoy the range of flavours and aromas we do today. Support the hop industry by buying real beer!
Luke 6:38 "Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."
