English Hops

At Charles Faram, English hops are part of our heritage. We’re proud to support the legacy and future of English hops, supplying brewers with the finest varieties grown in the UK. From traditional bittering hops to modern aroma-forward cultivars, our English hop lineup delivers quality, consistency, and the classic flavors that define British-style brewing.

Why Choose English Hops?

English hops are known for their subtle complexity, refined aromas, and excellent balance. Grown in the unique climate and soils of regions like Herefordshire, Worcestershire, and Kent, they contribute earthy, floral, spicy, and sometimes citrusy notes — ideal for traditional ales, modern bitters, and creative craft brews.

Brewing Benefits of English Hops:

• Distinctively delicate and nuanced flavor profiles

• Grown with care and traceability on UK hop farms

• Sustainably produced with minimal environmental impact

• Deep cultural roots in historic and craft British beer styles

• Perfect for cask ales, English-style pale ales, porters, and more
