With 2020 finished, so is Growing/Finding Beer for the next few months - for those that missed it you can find out how the year went at beerwithben.co.uk, search for the podcast (Growing Beer) or have a look at @Growingbeer - cheers!

If there is one constant in an increasingly unpredictable world it's these guys - Fuggles hops. Every year, mid-March, they come up, I build a massive pole and then take a few of the shoots to pan fry with a little butter, salt and pepper. Love it. #findingbeer

My thoughts go out to everybody facing serious challenges due to recent events, whether that's personal or work-related. Finding Beer is still on, but I'm shifting all interviews online - hopefully the only difference you'll hear is the school-age kids shouting in the background
Back from a Twitter break for 2020 with a second series and a whole new adventure as I'll be exploring even more of our brewing culture... Lots to come, including a new podcast later in the year and regular updates from spring onward. Finding Beer is coming...

Having a thorough think about the best direction for this year’s Growing Beer - lots to choose from, but at least Spring is here and everything is growing again

Episode 9 is ready for you, and this time I'm brewing! A year of digging, growing, harvesting and preparing all comes down to 5 hours and, er, just 15 litres of beer... apple.co/2xOqVZp #growingbeer #brewing #podcast

Just a few weeks from the brew! Have found a yeast, but not the ideal one so figuring out if it’ll do the job (or not). I’ll let you know... xitter.cf/alanedown/status/91783…

@beerwithben I'm dying to know how you're progressing with the beer making! Did you find a suitable yeast? #tobygardenfestival

An early start to the day as I harvest the last of the hops. Despite the sun it’s noticeable that autumn is here - it’s cold! #growingbeer

Just a few weeks until the podcast is launched, plenty of editing still to go. Fortunately, plenty of beer in the fridge too #growingbeer

I'll be at @tobygardenfest tomorrow talking about @Growingbeer and hosting tastings, should be a good day!
30 hours of digging, raking and sowing for @Growingbeer this weekend and I'm broken. Need to sit down with a glass of something restorative.

And we’re done! Main bed down, covered and nearly finished watering. Good luck little seeds - it’s over to you now... #growingbeer

After a full day working the land in the sun for #growingbeer , it has to be a classic saison as I finally put my feet up. I am knackered.
