Fields of Green - Fresh Hop Season '25 Showcase

Fields of Green - Fresh Hop Season '25 Showcase

Fresh Hop Tap Takeover | Pouring from 1PM | Friday April 25th | Fantail & Turtle

Once a year, a rare harvest brings a fleeting kind of magic to the taps.

Fresh hop beers are brewed with hops picked at their absolute peak, then rushed straight from farm to fermenter - often still warm from the sun. With just hours to brew before the hops begin to break down, the result is something truly special: bright, punchy, once-a-year flavour that can't be replicated.

Join us as we open fresh kegs of 21 fresh hop releases from some of Aotearoa’s most exciting breweries:

8 Wired Brewing
Abandoned Brewery
Bach Brewing
Behemoth Brewing Company
Black Sands Brewery
Brave Brewing Co.
DNA Brewing
Eddyline Brewery
Garage Project
Hallertau
McLeod's Brewery
Mount Brewing
Sawmill Brewery
Shining Peak Brewing
Twofold Brewery
Urbanaut Brewing Co.
