Hopfields 2015

Overview

If you're planning on spending the long weekend with a beer in your hand, then one Fortitude Valley establishment has you covered. Admittedly, serving up pints is what Bloodhound Bar does every day of the week; however in honour of everyone getting three days off, they're making an occasion of it.

At the first annual Hopfields, they're also making an occasion out of showcasing hops, without which we wouldn't have the brews we know and love. With that in mind, expect all the tasty ales from around the world that you could dream of — and plenty you've likely never heard of, too — including limited releases, launches of new beers and one-offs brewed especially for the event, plus a slew of classics.

With names like Fantapants and Splice of Heaven on the menu, as well as the Bloodhound and Newstead Brewing Co. collaboration that is Old Mate, you're going to want to try them all. Save some room for the cocktails though, with the humble hop flower given its moment to shine in all its forms.
