IN 2004 Ashley and Jane Huntington of Two Metre Tall Brewery chose to move their young family across the world from southern French vineyards to a farm in the Derwent with a dream of growing vines and making wine.

Instead they discovered a rich hop growing history and embarked on a project of producing ale instead, using ingredients from their farm and the Valley.

The ales and cider are brewed and fermented in a converted shearing shed.

Two Metre Tall is just one of the quality producers who will be part of the Autumn Festival in New Norfolk on April 23.
