Inner West Hop Harvest Fest

Overview

There's nothing quite like ringing in the end of a short work week with a crisp craft beer. The Inner West Brewery Association is giving you and your mates an excuse to explore some of Sydney's outstanding breweries, just in time for your day off on Thursday, April 25.

Joining forces to commemorate Australia's annual hop harvest, ten breweries across Newtown, Marrickville, Camperdown and Rozelle are offering a farm-to-glass experience from Wednesday, April 24 to Sunday, April 28.

These breweries will create limited-edition bevs using fresh hops sourced from Victoria, which can be sampled in their taprooms. Participating venues are Philter Brewing; The Grifter Brewing Co.; Wayward Brewing Co.; Wildflower Brewing & Blending; Batch Brewing Company Marrickville; Kicks Brewing; Mixtape Brewing & Bar; Sauce Brewing Co.; White Bay Beer Co.; and Young Henrys.

If you're serious about the crawl, beer enthusiasts can pick up a passport from any brewery and receive a stamp for each beer they sample. Once you've collected a stamp from all ten breweries, you can trade in the passport for a T-shirt designed by Sindy Sinn.
