I visited the brewery 3 weeks ago & the brewer said he was about to brew a hop beer using
the hops that we could see he was growing alongside the brewery.
I vsited the Porters Tavern in Warrington tonight and the beer was on!
4.1% & quite drinkable.
Porters have 4 real ales at £ 1.80p & next week are expecting another 2 pumps.
They will have a beer festival in January & are opening a small brewery shortly!

Catch it while you can! John Costello's hop bines only yielded 15
kilos of permitted beer additive so his "New Hop Bitter" is an
extremely limited edition. It was also available at the Swan with Two
Nicks in Little Bollington (the de facto brewery tap) but may have all
gone by now.
