How you can identify 'terroir' when tasting craft beers
Thanks to the recent resurgence in craft beers, there's been renewed interest in British hops over the past decade - not only from brewers in the UK, but internationally as well. Charlotte Smith heads to a farm on the Herefordshire/Worcestershire border during hops harvest. Ben Adams from the hop merchant Charles Faram finds out exactly what today's buyers are looking for from their hops; why the beer sector is seeing such growth; and whether you really can identify 'terroir' in beer as in wine.
