Manchester Fresh Hop Golden Ale '23 (5%) from @trackbrewco utilising freshly grown hops from MCR Hop Project. It was a joy for Track to be able to use a product grown in local soil and to experiment with an ingredient that they’ve used many times, but not in this form. 1/2

We're having to move out of the venue that helped us set up and nitrites us this far, but we're going out with a bang!
