Fullers hops in 1910

All that’s left in terms of ingredients are the hops. Which are always fun. Where will they be from? Because just before WW I the UK was importing bucketloads of hops. From pretty much every country that grew them.

Sure enough, every beer contained some Oregon hops. Mostly not very fresh at three years old. Oddly enough only the two Black Beers got relatively fresh ones. Perhaps because their nasty flavour would be masked by all the roast.

Nothing very exotic about the other hops. Which were all English. Mostly from Kent. Which makes sense, as it was right on Fullers doorstep. Where specified, these were from a combination East Kent and Mid-Kent.

These hops were fresher than the Oregons, none being more than two years old. And quite a lot being from the most recent season.

Every beer received four types of hops, other than X. Which only had three. Multiple hop types was pretty standard at the time.
