A Good Beer Blog

The start of hoppy beer in England is an interesting question. It was brought in as finished beer through depots like Hull and London as early as the 1200s but when did local brewing develop? The early 1500s is often cited but I've shared a record of hops coming to the trading port of in 1480. Turns out immigrant brewers made with there over 30 years before.

@agoodbeerblog when you write "1200s" and "1500s" do you mean the decades from 00-09 or entire centuries? Nothing personal, I ask lots of people this. Wondering how we refer to the decade 1200-1209 if everyone uses 1200s for the 13th century.

Good question! I probably would write “the first decade of the 1200s” to mean 1200-1209. Is that bad form? ;-) @drpaulitious

@agoodbeerblog not at all. You're the first person since Bobby Seagull to answer the question for me, thanks.

Happy to share and happy to learn and correct myself! @drpaulitious
