We're gathering at @LHGBrewingco's St Philips' taproom today to drop off our hops. We'll be there from 1 - 7 for our annual cropathon and weigh-in. Either bring your ready-picked hops or cut down the bines and our team can help you harvest over a pint or two 🍻

📢📢📢Announcing our 2024 brewery partner! 📢📢📢

Are your hops a poppin' yet?

We've just sent our first newsletter out of the year.

It includes something about our current recruitment drive and a call to support the @BrisAllotResist march tomorrow.

Join us at the @thedukeofyorkbristol tomorrow evening (30th November) for beery (and hoppy) chat and a game of skittles.

Existing collective members and prospective new members are all welcome! 🍺🍺🍺

[Bristol Hops Collective @BrisHopsColl]

We're looking for new growers to join our collective! 🍺🌱🎉

We'll assemble a starter pack for you in spring 2024, including a hop rhizome and all necessary kit.

Plus, we'll be on hand for advice all through the season.

Not long now! Home Grown launches @newbristol taproom tomorrow night (Friday 13th)! Join us there between 5 and 10 pm! Cheers!

[ALIVEgardening @ALIVEgardening]

There were many smiling faces @Brunelcare's Deerhurst last week when we joined residents to harvest the Fuggles hops from the rhizome we'd jointly planted in spring 🌱

The cones were transported down to @NewBristol to go in a unique, green-hopped beer with @EastBristolHops

[Bristol Hops Collective @BrisHopsColl]

We're excited to announce that we have a date for the launch of our 2023 @NewBristol collaboration - a 5% golden ale called Home Grown 🥳🥳🥳

Join us on 13th Oct at the NBB taproom to celebrate the collective effort that went into creating this unique Bristollian beer 🍺🍺🍺

[Bristol Hops Collective @BrisHopsColl]

Our annual hops weigh-in and cropathon was a fantastic communal event, and it won't be long until we sample this year's brew! 🍺 🍺 🍺

A huge thanks to @newbristolbrewery for being amazing partners 🙏 🙏 🙏

Keep your eyes peeled for details about the launch party! 🎉🎉🎉

[Bristol Hops Collective @BrisHopsColl]

Feel free to pop along if you don't have hops this year, too - we'll have unprocessed bines, which we'll be communally working on over a pint or two!

See you later, hoppers 🍺 🍺 🍺

[Bristol Hops Collective @BrisHopsColl]

Tonight's the night! We'll be at @NewBristol tonight from 5 p.m., ready to weigh your hops and ensure they get added to this year's brew! Doors close at 9 p.m.

[Bristol Hops Collective @BrisHopsColl]

The #lupulin is forming nicely in our hops now.

The lupulin is the yellow powder in the photo. It's where the magic happens as it's packed with all the hop acids and essential oils that give your beer its flavour and aroma.

You probably wouldn't want to try it raw, though!
