Hi,
Hope this is OK to ask here...
I have been asked to do a talk for a local gardening group on growing hops (including history and uses for beer and tea). I have some plants to show and will bring along some cones, and plan to make a hop tea.
However, my interest is in using them in beer (obviously!) and so I wanted to try and find a couple of beers that are similar in style, but taste different due to the hops used. It's in a couple of weeks, so no time to brew anything specific, and I don't have anything suitable brewed.
So, I'm keen for any suggestions on 2 or 3 beers that would show off different hops, e.g. different aromas or levels of bitterness that are discernible by people who may not be beer aficionados.
Nothing too rare, something I can get at Dan Murphys or First Choice or similar.
Any ideas appreciated.
