The Event Format

BritHop is an educational experience designed to highlight the value of British hops. A lineup of renowned breweries will showcase beers brewed exclusively for this event, each crafted to highlight the unique characteristics of a single British hop variety.

Selected breweries have brewed beers following these key criteria:

• Each beer must showcase a single British hop variety (either single-hopped or dry-hopped).
• Any additional hops used for bittering/whirlpooling must also be UK-grown.
• Open to all beer styles and strengths—expect a diverse range of flavours!

This event offers an excellent opportunity to taste, learn, and network in a relaxed environment.
