On Saturday I went to Canterbury to sample the Kent green hop beers. There was a fine selection on offer, and most were very good. Using undried hops means the amount of aromatic oils is higher and the beers can have a fresh 'zingy' taste. My overall favourite of the day was
Wantsum Brewery's Bullion. It's good to see
Bullion being grown in Britain, let's hope more are planted.
The green hop beer tent was there as part of the
Canterbury Food and Drink Festival, so there was plenty to eat and drink, as well as bands and morris dancers.
I managed to meet up with lots of friends, old and new, and managed to pace myself pretty well throughout the day.

Though I did have to pause and have a coffee mid-afternoon.

Which was just as well as we went on to the
Foundry brew pub afterwards for more important and informative discussions.
