Victoria's High Country is one of Australia's major hop-growing regions and, each year, Bridge Road Brewers throws a festival during hop harvest.
In 2019, High Country Hops sees the Beechworth brewery team up with seven other breweries from the region for a two-day celebration of hops, beer, food and live music.
Now in its fifth year, in 2019 the festival will also see breweries from further afield in attendance with both Sydney's Wildflower and Melbourne's Hop Nation making the journey.
The weekend also features the launch of Bridge Road's Harvest and Dark Harvest beers, the two longest continually-produced fresh hop beers in the country.
You can find more details on the 2019 festival here.
Entry is free, but anyone wanting to sample the beers will need to purchase a limited edition tasting glass; they cost $25 and get attendees a 100ml taster from every one of the breweries.
They're also setting up glamping village in the centre of Beechworth’s historic precinct – book accommodation there via this link.
