Heads up English hop fans! This year's Hopwalk green hop beer has been made with Harlequin, a fantastic new wave English hop that offers vibrant tropical and tree fruit flavours. Well worth getting those orders in, trade pals!

Back in Southwold for the day. Walk down to Dunwich beach and back, making the most of low tide. Driving, so thought I would have the Adnams Ghost Ship 0.5. First time I have seen it on cask, rather than keg, and very good it was.

Dormice might only be tiny but they have a big appetite 🍒 Their diet changes with the seasons, helping them make the most of whatever nature has to offer. This dormouse was captured on camera by supporter Camilla Roverts, grabbing a cherry for its tea! #DormouseWeek 🔗ptes.org/dormice

For me, trip to Southwold is never complete without a pint in the Nellie. Today I got to try Adnams Extra. Brewed with lots of English Fuggles, it has a wonderful hoppy taste. Soon you be available in Adnams shops as well, I'm told.

Just a little Water Vole, doing Water Vole things. What have you spotted in nature this weekend? 👀

A Water Vole sits partly hidden among dense green plants at the edge of still water. Its small brown face and rounded body peek out from the vegetation, with the surrounding greenery reflected softly across the water’s surface.
