Secondly we have Waiting Game, our aptly named collaboration wth @burningskybeer.bsky.social. Fermented with both breweries’ mixed yeast cultures, then united and given a light dry hop with Tettnanger Saphir. This is a celebration of modern rustic beer.

Look forward to seeing you there! 🍻

For the beers we used the same base saison split between three tanks and three different chillies/chilli combos to add flavour and heat. All of the chillies were grown by John, our friend and tap regular.

It was a truely inspiring visit and we were really impressed with the focus of quality and attention to detail from the farm to the processing of these aromatic inflorescences.

Last week we made the trip down to Worcester where we joined Charles Faram on a tour of the hop yards of Worcestershire and Herefordshire. These farms, often having been in families through generations, produce traditional and newer varieties of hop for the brewing requirements of the UK and beyond.
