Sustainable practices at Wicklow Wolf

Discussion on Hop Contracting, its importance and how a brewing company can leverage spot hops to advance their business. A very informative episode for any brewer or brewery to listen into.

As we continue to highlight UK Breweries and a Rockstar dubbed hop variety Strata®.   We set the stage at Cheltenham and @DEYA brewing co.   We asked Gareth Moore, Head Brewer, for a moment of his time to talk about Strata®  and how CY21 selections compared to last year.

As the Loughran Brewing Stores trip across the UK was getting into full swing, we decided to make a slight detour and stop at Falmouth.   Falmouth is a postcard seaside resort with great beauty and sailboat scattered waterways that stretch around as far as the eye could see. But another impressive feature of Falmouth was the stories of exceptional/magical liquid that flows out of the local taprooms.   So with a feeling that we could somehow contribute to this magical liquid, aka nectar of the gods, we brought some of the freshest Strata® from IndieHops straight off the bine to our friends at Verdant.   Following are James Heffron's thoughts on Strata® and the hop selection process.   Enjoy.

Loughran Brewing Stores' trip across the UK didn't disappoint, especially when we had the opportunity to sit down with Paul Jones from Cloudwater to chat about one of our favourite hops, Strata.  An unmissable episode of BrewCraic, Enjoy

We had the pleasure of chatting to Anca about their new documentary and of course, how hop harvest 2021 is performing.  We are very privileged to get this time with Anca dury a busy hop harvest.

Will Avery and James Loughran are joined by Blake Crosby from Crosby Hop Farm to chat about environmental and sustainable practices.  Blake expands on what it is to be a certified B corporation, sustainable growth and giving back to the community.
