Hop varieties include East Kent Goldings, Fuggles and Challenger. The Brewery strives to use traditional local-grown ingredients wherever possible. Traditional brewing methods are followed and quality is paramount at the Hopdaemon Brewery. The purest ingredients are used at all times, and careful attention is paid to consistency throughout the brewing process. As a result of this attention to detail, you can be confident that you are buying natural-brewed beers of the highest quality. |
