Faram Finale: The HopWalk® On Tour
Join us for the 2026 HopWalk® on Tour. This year brings new farms, new hop varieties, and plenty of innovation, with the same great atmosphere!
This intimate, hop-filled road trip includes a tour of the Charles Faram facility, with updates from our quality duo, Tim and Jim, plus visits to two hop farms, each showcasing their own varieties, growing techniques, and hoppy expertise.
Spaces are limited, so be sure to book early and choose from one of four dates this September.
After all that exploring and a posh nosh Hoppy Meal picnic, we bring everyone back to The Faram’s Arms pop-up pub for hop showcase beers and some dinner!
It’s a chance to catch up with our supplier partners, network and mingle with the Faram’s team, celebrate the harvest, and share our love for what we do and who we are.
