Episode 144: Can British Hops Really Create an Incredible IPA...? [with Will Rogers from Charles Faram]

On the Hop Forward Podcast this week, we ask the question, 'Can British Hops Really Create an Incredible IPA?' to Will Rogers, technical director for hop merchant, Charles Faram.To answer this question, we partnered with Charles Faram to brew one for ourselves using hops from Charles Faram's hop breeding programme, making use of hops such as Harlequin, Jester, Olicana, Godiva, Mystic and their most recent edition Most, I attempted to push the boundaries of what hops to our native soil can really do in a modern IPA.The result...? England’s Green and Pleasant Land is an all British Hopped IPA (6.1%), brewed in collaboration with Charles Faram and Emmanuales, which showcases how beautifully divine and delightfully hoppy IPAs can come out of England’s Green and Pleasant Land.FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THE BEERDownload the recipe | Buy the beer | Follow EmmanualesTODAY'S EPISODE OF THE HOP FORWARD PODCAST IS SPONSORED BY:Bespoke Brewing Solutions designs and manufactures equipment that allows breweries to produce high-quality craft beverages with increased cost-effectiveness and faster turnaround times.The BBS team has 8 years of solid teamwork together and 10+ years of experience in manufacturing brewing equipment.
