FARAMANIA®
Faramania® is a competition specifically for homebrewers helping to create hop history,
as homebrewers can trial experimental hop varieties.
FEATURES
The homebrewers are able to trial Charles Faram experimental hop varieties where only a handful of hop cones are yet in existence.
This quantity is way too small to send to commercial brewers for trial, so this process enables us to fast-track brand-new varieties through the Charles Faram Hop Development Programme.
Awards are presented to the winning brewers after the judging sessions.
Faram’s will take the judge’s comments and score back to base to analyse and determine which hops to continue within the programme.
