We’re featuring the art work by the amazing multimedia artisit Trxtr in this issue for a couple of reasons. Firstly, we really love his work: a visual feast with a powerful message! Our hop farm is also right next door to the fantastic couple that run Red Propeller Gallery, who represent the artist. So they’re very much rooted in our journey as a hop farm. We’ve shared one or two homebrews over the past couple of years, as you’ll imagine!

There’s loads to get excited about when it come to Barnaby’s Brewhouse. Obviously there’s the beer, which is pretty spectacular. And then there’s their passion for an ecological approach to brewing. We’re on the same page there as that’s how we roll here on the hop farm too!
A lot of our customers are split between all grain and extract brewing.

We ask pro brewers and homebrewers for their top homebrewing tips to help you with your own mash ups.
