I am delighted to welcome to the podcast Jim and Henry from Brook House Hops based in Herefordshire.

The explosive rise of craft brewing has revolutionised the British beer industry, with more quality and diversity on offer than ever before. But throughout this shift, hop farming has remained much the same. Not at Brook House Hops.

Brook House have been selling hops directly to craft brewers since 2018 combining a rigorous and scientific approach to hop farming at scale, with the art and attention-to-detail cultivating perfect English hop aromas.

I am delighted to welcome to the podcast Tom Hutchins from Brew By Numbers, based in Greenwich.

Brew By Numbers was launched in December 2012,  and quickly applied a scientific approach to brewing,  working with split batches, in a quest for constant improvement. The numbering system attributed to these early tests gave rise to their name - Brew By Numbers.

As they enter their tenth year Brew By Numbers continue to lead the way for hazy East Coast pale ales in the UK, and are also seen as a pioneer on issues such as the importance of freshness, beer cold storage, and continue to be a major influence on taproom culture in London.

Linked below is Part One of the BBNo Blog which contains a lot of the material and research discussed in the episode:

It was back in 2011 that the crew started brewing beer out of their garage in Caracas, Venezuela, making wild concoctions with whatever the could get their hands on and stoking their passion for craft beer. After years of traveling to breweries all around the world and experimenting with different styles of brewing, the crew took a leap of faith and moved to Miami to pursue the next chapter of their brewing careers.
