Who fancies growing some of these this year? Last year we got 75kg from our growers around Manchester and @trackbrewingco turned them into lovely beer. This year we want more! If you want to join in get in touch 🍻

Copy of the latest email. We especially want to identify the guys who brought in the Yorkshire grown mixed hops and anyone who may still have unpicked hops.
