A single hop beer with a difference. A rhizome from the prolific Fuggle hop that grows at the Hophead brewery was sent 300 miles north and grown by Rosemary at the Old School on the Solway coast – about as far north as you can go in England on the west coast. The northern hops were picked, dried and packed and sent in the post to the brewery. This is the 2nd year we have brewed this beer and this time they were combined 70/30 with hops from the brewery’s Fuggle.

Pale Maris Otter malt and Munich malt combine to give a hint of malt and the 3 hop additions give a good English bitterness and restrained hoppyness. Another change for this year is the Yeast Strain moving from the brewery’s normal Lallemand Nottingham to English style ale yeast
