Harvest Tide

Harvest Tide

Matthew and the Hoppers have smashed it – the last of the Cascade hops will be collected in today. 

It's been a busy few weeks of cutting the bines....

The whole harvest will be complete and the Hoppers will soon  be raising a well-deserved glass of beer to celebrate! 

Well done to Matthew and the team of Hoppers!

Time too to send this year's hops off to competitions to see if Matthew can repeat his success of last year...
