The Hop Shed is an award winning brewery based on a hop farm in the beautiful Worcestershire countryside. We set up the brewery in a converted chicken shed here on the farm. This inspired the name of our brand and beers, which are all named after breeds of chickens.

21/5/2020. Bottle as Frizzle Worcestershire IPA, 5.0% abv from Crumpton Hill Farm Shop. Pours clear pale golden amber with a short lasting off-white head. Aroma of leafy hops, flowers, citrus, touch of buttery caramel and grass. Moderate sweetness and towards medium bitterness. Moderate body. Quite a nice hoppy malty bittersweet finish. It's not bad.
