Brewers & Merchants

Whatever your role in the brewing industry, from Hop Merchant to Home brewer, great or small we would love to work with you.

As part of our drive to curate and maintain the wonderful heritage of English hops, we experiment with a range of aroma hops. Our varieties include intense apricot from Ernest, oranges from Bullion and the classic English flavours of Fuggle, Golding’s and Challenger amongst others.

We also are currently in the process of re-introducing a number of historic varieties no longer grown in the U.K including the Hukins Hop, lost in time in the British Hop Library for over 60 years as well as a range of experimental aromas. Interested and want to learn more, drop us a note today
