Today is Hops Monday!!!

One for all us beer drinkers! Yes today is HOPS MONDAY!

Hops were introduced into England in the first quarter of the 16th century by Flemish immigrants. The first English book written about hop growing by Reynolds Scot, was published in 1574. It recommends that poles be erected in the spring as soon as the hops are above the ground! What a great man he was!

So tonight not only can you dance off all your Easter Eggs at Swanley but you can celebrate Hops Day at the bar!!

Me thinks I may treat myself to a pint too - only out of respect for the day ... of course!
