Overview

If you drink beer, you’ve heard of hops. Even if you don’t drink beer, surely you have as well. Knowing the term is one thing — but do you really know what they are? And how they look, feel, smell and taste? Or what the secret is to 'New World' hops? And why there’s so many varieties available?

Wonder no more, thanks to Milton’s favourite dive bar. The fine folks at The Scratch don’t just have a passion for pouring tasty brews but for teaching their patrons all about them as well. From that enthusiasm, Alementary was born. Each weekend, beer aficionados can learn the basics, as the series covers a variety of topics.

On March 14, Croft Brewing head brewer Gavin Croft will step through everything hops-related, in the best excuse anyone has ever had to get up early on a Saturday morning and head to a bar. Yes, it’s educational. Yes, learning and drinking go hand in hand. Yes, you won’t only be talking shop — you'll also be sampling different beers to help put the theory into practice.
