Whole Foods Market / Boycott

to answer the point about hops not being grown here, that's not true.
I went on a Fuller's tour a couple of months ago and they are proud to use only British hops in all their beers except for the one Organic ale they do - there are no organically certified British hops so they get them from the Czech republic. I suspect you could make a fair bit of money by becoming the first British organic hop supplier.

Fullers produce a huge amount of beer, and must be supporting a pretty healthy hop farming industry. They can't be the only brewer of proper beer (horrible pissy lager doesn't count) that uses British hops either. So there's no need to sink to drinking apples just yet.

possibly another exception proving the rule, I actually visited a hop farm in Kent a few years ago, but it was one of only very few left...I've no doubt that Fullers use British hops....but the hop-growing industry is severely diminished and the majority of hops used in the UK are imported (Czech???)
