The passing of winter in to spring not only marks the arrival of green shoots and lighter evenings but a lifting of the spirits and a change in beer styles to match the collective mood.
Although not traditionally a season associated with a particular style of beer, seasonal spring beers are fast becoming annual regulars, as commercial brewing looks to create year-round markets. As the sporting calendar gathers full pace, so come the beers brewed to accompany conversations of rugby, the Boat Race and the Grand National.

Brunettes are out as red-heads and blondes begin to dominate the pumps in to March and April. On the Beer Flavour Wheel (www.beerflavorwheel.com) there is a particular emphasis on grassy and floral beers as flavours that match the blossoming activity of the season. Spring beers are also often more hoppy, often best enjoyed with a ploughman's lunch after a sunny if brisk springtime walk.

At Lord Conrad's, we have developed Hedgerow Hop, brewed from locally picked wild hops, dried and prepared over the winter months to produce a spring beer full of character and vitality. Our new brew is on a limited run to celebrate the opening of our new premises in Dry Drayton, west of Cambridge. The beer will be sold on a first come, first served basis but as our brewery continues to grow we hope 'The Hop' will become a regular fixture every year.

Let us know what you think…. cheers!

Horse Chestnuts are more often called ‘Conkers’ except in the USA where they are called ‘Buckeyes’.

In October many counties hold Conker competitions and in a picturesque corner of Northamptonshire they host the World Conker Championships on the second Sunday in October every year. But if you're not around to take part or find that a little too energetic then just kick back and enjoy a LCB Conkerwood instead.
