Shut up about Barclay Perkins - Thomas Usher hops in 1894
Visit the Shut up about Barclay Perkins site
Moving on to the hops, the great majority are English. Other than one lot of British Columbian and one of Californian.
As for the English, almost all are either from Kent or Sussex. The former is no surprise, being, the UK’s biggest hop-growing region. Sussex, on the other hand, was a relatively minor player in the hop game. Worcester, which appears once, was another major hop county. Thus, not unusual.
It may seem odd that an expensive beer like the Export Stout contains only American hops. But it does make sense. An export beer would need lots of protection from hops. And US hops had a higher preservative value. Also, in a beer that was aged and had loads of roast, hop aroma wouldn’t have been a prominent flavour.
