The start of hoppy beer #brewing in England is an interesting question. It was brought in as finished beer through #Hanseatic 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 #Bristol in 1480. Turns out immigrant brewers made #beer with #hops 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
