An oast, oast house or hop kiln is a building designed for kilning (drying) hops as part of the brewing process. They can be found in most hop-growing (and former hop-growing) areas and are often good examples of vernacular architecture. Many redundant oasts have been converted into houses.

I did a 'ghost tour" in Launceston when I was there a few years ago. it was actually more a bit of a giggle than really spooky, but good value and had a few insights into local history.
