🌿🍺 GREEN HOP SEASON IS UPON US!! 🍺🌿

One of our favourite times of the b**r calendar has arrived… Kent Green Hop Season! 💚

Every September and October, Kent’s brewers make the most of the hop harvest by brewing with freshly picked, undried hops, rushed from field to brewery and into the kettle within hours of being harvested.

Unlike dried or pelleted hops, green hops retain all those wonderfully fleeting oils and aromas that disappear during drying, giving the b**rs a distinctive fresh, vibrant character that can be grassy, resinous, citrusy, fruity and sometimes even a little green-tea-like.

We’re kicking things off with three cracking b**rs from three stalwarts of the Kentish brewing scene.

🌿 GOACHERS – GREEN HOP EG40
We were excited to tap this one late yesterday afternoon!
An extremely limited brew, made using EG40, an experimental hop developed by Wye Hops at China Farm near Canterbury.
Expect flavours and aromas of lychee, sweet citrus and mango. 🥭🍊

🌿 GADDS’ GREEN HOP ALE
Our friends at GADDS’ Brewery are holding their annual Green Hop Festival this Saturday, 10th October, with the ceremonial tapping of their own b**r alongside fresh-hop brews from several other breweries.
Naturally, we’ve snaffled a cask for ourselves 👍

🌿 KENT BREWERY – GREEN GIANT 6%
Kent Brewery always deliver the goods when Green Hop Season rolls around, and Green Giant is a firm Royston favourite.
A whopping 6% IPA, brewed with a colossal amount of freshly harvested East Kent Goldings. This one is already settling nicely on the stillage. 👀🍺
Production has been a little more limited at Kent Brewery this year, but we’ve also managed to reserve a cask of their Green Manalishi, brewed in memory of the great Peter Green of the original Fleetwood Mac. 🎸💚

So that's FOUR Kentish Green Hop b**rs being poured over the coming weeks. 🌿🍺

Don't forget to subscribe to our Untappd menu for instant notifications straight to your phone if you don't want to miss them! 📣

We're closed today but get yourself down the Royston tomorrow and try the Goachers EG40!

💩🏆 WE HAVE OUR 2026 TURD TROPHY CHAMPIONS! 🏆💩

After four months of horrendous shirts, questionable fashion choices and far too many bloody Kevs... the votes are finally in! 😂

A massive congratulations to...
🧱💩 KEV & SARAH! 💩🧱

Their brilliantly awful home-made matching LEGO shirts have won the Grand Final vote and they are officially...

🏆 THE ROYSTON'S S**TEST SHIRTS OF 2026! 🏆

And I have to say, I'm absolutely delighted for them. ❤️
Sarah put a huge amount of time and effort into actually making these beauties herself from a duvet cover she bought off Vinted

They originally won July's S**t Shirt Sunday together, earning their place in the Grand Final, where they faced some seriously stiff competition from Kev B, Kev B... and Kev S. 🤦‍♂️🤣
Seriously, what is it with Kevs and s**t shirts?!

But after the final round of voting, you lot decided that handmade hideousness deserved the crown! 👏💩
So Kev & Sarah now have the enormous honour of taking possession of the magnificent...

💩🏆 TURD TROPHY! 🏆💩
A priceless* piece of Royston history which I'm sure will take pride of place in their home.

*Absolutely f***ing worthless. 😂

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who joined in with S**t Shirt Sundays this summer, whether you dressed up, voted, laughed at your mates or simply came along for the cheeseboard. 🧀🍺

Four years we've been doing this ridiculous competition now, and somehow you lot still manage to find new ways of lowering the sartorial standards of Broadstairs every summer. 😂

That's exactly why we love it. ❤️

Congratulations again to Kev & Sarah, our 2026 Turd Trophy Champions! 🏆💩

Until next summer...

💩👕 KEEP IT S**T! 👕💩

MYSTERY CASK REVEALED!

I can't believe no one got it this week 🤷🏼‍♂️ No free b**r for the Hubbards 🤪

It was simply Siren Craft Brew - 'Suspended in Topaz'. A siren (not a mermaid) suspended in a topaz crystal. Oh well, better luck next time.

What a glorious pint this! Hazy and sessionable at just 3.4% ABV but punching well above its weight 🥊 Notes of sweet lychee, passion fruit and peach with a pleasant dry finish.

If a pale ale isn't your thing, we've also just tapped the New Bristol Brewery Cinder Toffee Stout which tastes like liquified Crunchie bars!

Pop down for a pint and have a great weekend whatever you're up to. Don't forget it's also the Broadstairs Food Festival this weekend too.

Have a good one.
