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 our taps..

These ridiculously hard to find beers are brewed with hops picked at their peak, then rushed straight from farm to fermenter – often still warm from the sun.

No drying. No delay.

Just big, bright, resinous, once-a-year flavour.

& we’ll start sharing them with you from 1PM, Friday 25th April.

Join us as we start pouring the twenty one fresh hop releases we were able to get our hands on, from some of Aotearoa’s most exciting breweries:

• 8 Wired Brewing
• Abandoned Brewery
• Bach Brewing
• Behemoth Brewing Company
