I know I gave a short update earlier but I have more info now so I thought I'd share! For those of you who are not familiar with our project, over the course of the last year we've been growing hops in gardens, parks, pots and community areas across South London, centered around Brixton (ish). We harvested the hops and had a community brew day at the micro brewery in the Florence. Now all that is left to do is drink the stuff!
Our first beer is a Pale Ale called Prima Donna (after the variety of hop) and it will be available at the Florence from the 6th October until it sells out. You'll also see it in other pubs across South London. Once we've finalised exactly where we'll make a map. The official 'launch' will be at the conveniently timed East Dulwich beer festival where we're chuffed to say all three pubs will be serving it - the Bishop, the East Dulwich Tav and the Drafthouse. I'll be at the Bishop on Saturday 6th October from 7pm with a map and some beer if you fancy saying hi. I'd also like to do a meet the brewer/grower evening at a pub actually in Brixton over the coming months.
For pics and more info here is a short blog post http://city-farmers.co.uk/?p=438
Hope you like the beer and the story behind it
We need more growers next year! All growers get some free beer, naturally ![Wink ;) ;)](/ubb/wink.gif)
