05/09/16 ***WITH VIDEO*** British hop farmers have reason to celebrate as a resurgence in craft and real ale brewing means demand for the little green flower, an essential ingredient in beer, has risen almost ten percent this year. FULL STORY HERE: It’s the first time in 15 years that growers have had to increase the number of crops planted to meet demand. The additional yield being harvested right now at one the UK’s biggest hop farms will go toward making an extra million pints of beer – a great reason to raise a glass and celebrate the success of this traditional British crop. And what’s more, it’s been a fantastic year for hops, despite a rather worrying and damp start to the growing season. All Rights Reserved, F Stop Press Ltd. +44 (0)1773 550665
