Herbal Beers

Andy takes you on a virtual forage looking for ingredients used in brewing prior to the arrival of hops to Britain – and which today’s brewers look to for inspiration. Each plant is presented with a profile and a brief brewing factsheet to point you in the direction of what stage in the brewing process to use it and help you decide which plant and other ingredients you might want to pair it with.

Andy’s introduction provides guidance for considerate and legal foraging. You can seek further guidance here and here. The Woodland Trust also provides guidance for foraging on it’s estate. It is also advisable to familiarise yourself with the Wildlife and Countryside Act.
