Deal Hop Farm: New Deal Beers are on the way...

Red Letter day today: We brewed our first new beer of 2019 with local brewers Time & Tide Brewing  . 

This is going to be Pale Ale (4.1%abv) with some our 2018 dried Prima Donna community produced hops as well as Citra & Cascade hops. 

This will be soon followed by a ESB (5%abv) next week just using our hops. 

Both beers will be in cask and can and in the town from Easter. 

Full list of pubs carrying the new beers will be posted in a few weeks

The Deal Hop Farm is very grateful to Sam, Paul, Kerry & Jamie at Time & Tide for moving so quickly to support us and put our hops to good use.

The project is now its 3rd Season and with over 40 new members covers about 250 sites in and around Deal in its patchwork farm comprised of people's gardens, allotments and community spaces.

The group has its last rhizome distribution at the Landmark Garden this Saturday 30th March (10:30 to 12:30)

Kingsdown Beach Clean

Well done to our colleagues in Kingsdown ConservationGroup on Sunday's Beach Clean.

Kingsdown Beach Clean , organised by Kingsdown Conservation Group on 24 March 2019 – a few of the many people who came.

A lovely sunny day, and 58 people, including children, turned up to help.

We collected around 28 bags of rubbish, weighing a massive of 115.5 lbs.

Excellent effort. Lots of small and large plastic pieces, lots of fishing line, bits of net and rope, a couple of large metal pieces ( not weighed), socks, plastic cups, plastic teaspoons, bottle tops, cigarette ends.

Thank you to our 54 volunteers on today's Walmer Beach Clean. 36.7kilos collected most of it small stuff and about 1.5kilos of recyclables. 

We also had use our sharps box for the first time in 4years :( 

Next one on 14th April at Sandown Castle end of the beach.

This clean was part of #GreatBritishSpringClean #GBSpringClean with hundreds of events around the country cleaning parks, streets and localities …
