Great! So they've discovered Cascade and Styrian Goldings

which, while used in some lovely beers, was new in 1930, and is a varietal of Fuggles, the most beige of all the traditional British hops. Absolutely nothing innovative there - Wychwood were using the slovevian Styrian Golding in Hobgoblin 10 years ago.

I've had Bure Gold and Once Bittern, never the other. They're lovely beers. They might have been contenders for awards a decade ago, before the brewing world raised its game.
