A Beer & Brewing Culture Magazine

Hop & Barley Magazine - Volume 1o

Brighton

Since launching in 2014, we’ve seen the brewing scene develop and grow into one of the most exciting, innovative and dynamic industries. Few places better encapsulate this progressive culture than Brighton, a town which has, in recent years, nurtured one of the UK’s most diverse, inclusive and creative brewing scenes.

The people. The places. The stories.

Hop & Barley is an independent magazine which explores the people and stories behind the contemporary brewing movement.
