点评:What a fabulous experience we had today being shown round the hop vines and learning about how hops are grown and processed to make the beers. Our guide Chris Lovett, was informative and knowledgeable. He made the tour interesting and fun, sharing with us pictures of how hops were processed in the past which helped highlight the differences in the farming processes now.
It is a working farm so had to be mindful of the staff and working vehicles.
We went through all the processes, walked through the vines to learn about the different types that are grown there. Learnt how the vines are grown and harvested. Smelt the different vines and learnt what parts of the vines are used.
At the end of the tour, we had a tasting session in the Tap Room where we could put our new knowledge to the test to see if we could pick out the different flavours of the hops. Really made a good end to the tour.
It was such a lovely evening that we decided to have a meal and was again treated to some tasty meals.
We have lived in Ashford for years and didn’t know that this lovely place was so near.
If you fancy something different and like beer, it is a go to place. Very reasonable price for the experience too. Thank you again Chris.

这是一个仍在运营的农场,所以必须小心工作人员和车辆。
我们了解了所有流程,穿过葡萄藤,了解了这里种植的不同品种。我们了解了葡萄藤的种植和采摘方法。闻了闻不同葡萄藤的香味,并了解了葡萄藤的哪些部位是可以运用的。
参观结束时,我们在Tap Room进行了品酒会,测试了新学到的知识,看看我们能否分辨出不同啤酒花的风味。这真是一次完美的旅行。
这是一个美好的夜晚,我们决定去吃一顿饭,结果又一次享用了美味的佳肴。
我们在阿什福德住了好几年,没想到这么近的地方竟然有这么可爱的地方。
如果你喜欢一些不一样的体验,比如啤酒,这里绝对值得一去。价格也很合理,体验也很棒。再次感谢克里斯。
