Humulus Lupulus


An oasthouse is a kiln for hops whish is used in beer for taste and to settle it.
These can mainly be found in Kent and East Sussex where they grew a huge amount of hops in the last century. We visited two on our "tour", one was remodelled into a house and the other was a two roundel oast and was totally transformed into two teepee like spaces with windows 360 degrees and interesting acoustics. Being inside was absolutely serene.
