About Us
Field Cottage Peterstow is hosting a wild hop walk around the lanes near Field Cottage to explore the wonderful wild hops growing in the Herefordshire hedgerows.
Discover the history behind hops in this part of the world, and how the different varieties of hops are used in different styles of beer.
This will be a light paced walk up the lane and back, before we enjoy a hop rubbing session exploring the different scents and uses of different UK hop varieties.
You'll learn about how hops came to be used in the beer industry and why we put them in our beer.
You'll discover the scent of varieties such as Fuggle, Goldings, Bullion, Ernest and UK Cascade and how they are used to make different styles of beer.
You'll also learn about changes in the hop industry over the years and how hops from the USA have spurned a renewed interest in British hops.
