We're back for 2025, and we have a brilliant line up of hoppy topics, technical talks and brewing techniques! This week we hear from hop grower Jim Barrett as he gives us the low down on the 2024 harvest, what methods he's been using to create award winning hops and how he's reducing the use of chemical pesticides. Could this be the future of hop growing? But that's not all—we catch up with Welsh brewer Rhys Pillai from Beer Riff. Learn how he went from punk rocker to brewer as he takes us through his journey, the lessons he’s learned, and the new products he's excited to brew with!
