Hāpi Symposium 2025
Event description
The Hāpi Symposium is returning for 2025. Hosted by Hāpi Research partners Freestyle Hops and Garage Project, you can expect a day of talks targeted to professional brewers focused on the latest research around all things hops.
This year we will have international presenters giving talks focused on hop terroir, hop and haze interaction, along with a hands on sensory session giving you a first hand experience of Thiols, Terpenes and Esters.
Alongside all of this, we will present the latest developments and give you a first-hand look at new experimental lots from the Hāpi Research breeding programme.
Come spend a day with like-minded brewers from around the globe sharing the latest techniques and trends, with plenty of opportunities to swap stories and insights, all set against the backdrop of Sunrise Valley and the Freestyle Hops home farm.
