Hop Farm Tour & Lunch
Event description
It's FINALLY time for an in person IBA Tassie MashUp!
We are excited to provide two great options for our members to get involved.
HOP FARM TOUR & LUNCH
Time: 12pm - 4pm
Location: Hop Products Australia, Bushy Park Estates 440 Gordon River Road, Bushy Park, Tasmania
Transport: Bus will pick up at 11am from Hobart Brewing Co. and drop off at Shambles Brewery by 5pm.
Hop Product Australia (HPA) invite you to join them for a tour of their Tasmanian farm and facilities during the hustle and bustle of harvest.
We’ll kick things off with a gourmet picnic lunch in their world class breeding garden, where you will be joined by the Pink Boots Society and you can get up close and personal with experimental hops on the bine. Then we’ll head up the hill and tour Bushy Park Estates commercial farming operations that are spread over 253 hectares capable of producing more than 435 metric tonnes of hops a year.
It’s a bit of a trek, but the Derwent Valley is a beautiful place, so why not make the most of it and stay a night or two. If you’re looking for recommendations on places to eat, drink, stay or play visit https://www.hops.com.au/discover-tasmania/.
Spots for the tour are very limited and restricted to two members per brewery.
If you have missed out on the tour, please join us at Deep South Brewing for a few beers! RSVP below via link.
