Teme Valley, The Hop Nouvelle 4.1%

Founded in 1997 in Knightwick by the Clift family with the intention of using hops grown at the family farm to make beer to sell in their pub, The Talbot. Over 25 years later, the now multiple award winning brewery, still only uses hops from Worcestershire & Herefordshire with UK barley and recently went Gluten Free.

Hops grown in the UK are normally harvested during September and early October. The cones are separated from the bine and then dried immediately on a kiln, and pressed into bales to be stored until used – maybe for more than a year. An advantage of the brewery's location in one of the prime hop growing regions in the country is the opportunity to make green hopped beers during harvest season- pitched into the beer within an hour of picking gives a huge bright lump of fresh hoppy aromas and flavours. Try it as an aperitif and savour the unique flavour.
