A short video recapping the brewing of Brockley Brewey’s Deluge, a beer brewed to commemorate the 54th anniversary of the 1968 Lewisham floods.
Between July and September hops flower and can be spotted in many parts of London, including all along the rivers of Lewisham. Male and female flowers take different shapes but both are coloured in a yellow-green.
Three large bin bags full of hops were dutifully picked and deposited in a bucket ready for brewing.
They were then added to the brew kettle to prepare them for fermentation. Three weeks later, a delicious green hop beer was ready to drink.
