Southern Hemisphere hops punch well above their weight — big tropical aromatics, distinctive character, and a personality you won't find anywhere else in the world. They're also the backbone of some of our favourite beers to brew.
Join our Head Brewer Mike for a hands-on evening exploring what makes these hops so special, from cult New Zealand varieties through to standout Aussie locals. You'll get up close with the hops themselves, learning to pick apart their aromas and understand why hop selection has such an outsized effect on the beer in your glass.
At the heart of the evening is a curated tasting of four beers, each brewed with hops you'll actually get your hands on. Mike will talk through where the inspiration for each brew came from, how the hops were chosen, and what they bring to the finished beer — the whole journey from cone to can.
Come ready for a proper sensory experience, nose to tastebuds. Expect to have green hands by the end of the evening, if you know you know.
