Description
Enjoy a tasting of local beers at Hukins Hops in Kent along with a guided tour of the equipment (90 minutes).
Hukins Hops have been growing hops on the farm since 1900 and we invite you to visit the farm to see how we process our hops followed by an expert led beer tasting of local beers.
This tour is inside the farm buildings as hops are only visible in the fields between May-September. For the rest of the year, they remain in the ground, waiting to start their growing cycle in the Spring.
Please kindly note that these tours are for a minimum of 4 guests and that you may be with other people on the tour.
Tours are available in the summer and harvest time and tickets can be found for these here: https://www.hukins-hops.co.uk/tours-events/

- The growing cycle the hop plants
- History of the farm
- History of beer in the UK
