    HOP NATION – THE BUZZ

    Date:

    I’m back! And have you heard the Buzz on the street? Our local brewery Hop Nation has swooped in and won Champion Beer in the Best Amber / Dark Ale category for The Buzz American Red in the recent AIBAs (Australian International Beer Awards) amongst 11 other medals. A pretty fabulous feat! 

    So, I grabbed a can to celebrate. And perfect timing I might say, as this cooler Melbourne weather is screaming for darker beers. 

    This Red Ale has a delightful red hue, with a piney, tropical aroma. The 6% ABV (alcohol by volume) allows you to sip and savour its malty goodness. 

     This can was purchased at Goods Grocer in Altona. Who, since revamping the store, have a great range of local craft beers to check out.

    It's hard to find local stories because major news suppliers have economised by cutting local journalism. In addition, social media algorithms mean we have to work doubly hard to be seen.
