Our next meeting will be this Thursday 13th at the Hillary Step in Whalley Range, 8pm. As usual bring beers to try or just join us to sample them. The Step has an amazing range of 24 beers to keep us busy too!

Buzzing to see that Track have won Gold at the @untappd Community Awards 2024 for the Golden Ale they made in collaboration with @MCRHopProject and brewed with some of our hops grown at The Grove Allotments in Urmston 🥇

@hooch303 It's probably not an issue. We can test them at harvest time just to check they are suitable for brewing.

Who fancies growing some of these this year? Last year we got 75kg from our growers around Manchester and @trackbrewingco turned them into lovely beer. This year we want more! If you want to join in get in touch 🍻

Not sure about Kent but Manchester is going from strength to strength! https://t.co/yYeXAzDsiQ

Drinking the last of my @trackbrewco green hop beers 😥
Look like we need to grow even more next year 🍻

The UK's best homebrew competition! Even better if you brew with homegrown hops 🍻

CALLING HOMEBREWERS!

Aye up @mlandtr78, have you tried this yet in @CellarChester - @trackbrewco X @MCRHopProject-Auburn (MCR Brown Ale), 4.9%. It's right up your street. Absolutely gorgeous. @ShitChester

[MCR Hop Project @MCRHopProject]

@Factory051 @trackbrewco @dbf_beer Obvsiously we're *slightly* biased but also, absolutely agree 👍

[MCR Hop Project @MCRHopProject]

This is a lovely beer from @trackbrewco at @dbf_beer

[MCR Hop Project @MCRHopProject]

@mpdutton @HeatonHops @trackbrewco I think we'll aim for 100kg next year 🤞

[Heaton Hops - Tap House & Bottle Shop @HeatonHops]

Amazing to think that hops I grew in my garden in Heaton Chapel are in this beer @MCRHopProject @trackbrewco @mpdutton and currently being served on cask in Stockport 🍺🍺🍺

[MCR Hop Project @MCRHopProject]

If you donated hops this year, check your email for news of beer 😃

[MCR Hop Project @MCRHopProject]

I expect home grown fuggles was number 6 👍
