Today I went to check out the progress in my local hop fields and was pleased to see the early signs of the cones that will one day give us so much pleasure. With the barley harvest in full flow nearby, it was a perfect day to reflect on how the wheels are already turning in the Garden of England to produce next year's beers. Meanwhile, we are hoping for some encouraging news this week on how soon we can start to play our own part. Turn to Our Ingredients to experience the scenes for yourself.
Work continues apace to tie the knot with one of our favoured sites. While one is in a remarkable location enveloped in miles of unadultarated Garden of England, with considerable potential for expansion, the other has a few more practical advantages including a cold store. Both sites have some disadvantages so nothing is ever perfect, but there is nothing that would be insummountable with either site. While one has a couple of lovely neighbours and a perfect guard dog whose bark is far worse than his bite, the other has voles and butterflies for neighbours and a security system that would be the envy of the Bank of England. We love them both andwill be sad to lose either. But one has to go - I think the answer is only days away...
