Hopfields 2020

Overview

If you're planning on spending a Saturday 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 Brewsvegas, it's bringing back its beloved beer fest on Saturday, March 21, adding it to the city-wide celebration and making an extra special occasion of it.

At the sixth Hopfields, Bloodhound Bar is 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 IPAs 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.

In previous years, names like Sparkle Muffin, Alligator Tugboat, Unicorn Tears and 'Morning Blend' Coffee Milkshake IPA have been on the menu — and if this year can match it, you're going to want to try them all. Save some room for the creative concoctions though, with the humble hop flower given its moment to shine in all its forms.
