It's time for The Alehouse Project to send your lupulin sensors to their threshold and beyond once more.
Hopfest 9 returns to the Brunswick East bar for another week of high IBU, palate-teasing – and potentially shredding – action.
This time around, the bar has lined up 19 of Australia's best breweries and invited them to showcase their latest hop-driven beers featuring a number of one-off event beers and some official beer launches.
Unfortunately, BrewCult was a late withdrawal but has been replaced with a second beer from New England.

- 7 cent Brewery "I Bruges U" Hoppy Bruin
