It's fair to say it's been a big year for Hope Estate as they burst from relative obscurity and into the limelight by taking out the title of Champion Small Brewery at the 2016 Craft Beer Awards. So it's somewhat fitting that they get a chance to round out the year in a big way, by bringing the best from Polkolbin to the city and put on a total venue takeover at Hotel Sweeney's.
It will range across all floors and all taps, showcasing the following 18 beers (and a cider):
- Session Lager
- Munich Lager
- Dark Lager
- Black Lager
- Gluten Free Pilsner
- Hefeweizen
- Berry Hop Wit
- Aussie Pale Ale
- Session IPA
- XPA
- IPA
- Double IPA
- Black IPA
- F111 Jet Black IPA
- Choc Milk Porter
- Barrel Aged Imperial Stout
- Mocha Porter (handpull)
- India Red Ale (handpull)
- Tower Cider
Things get underway from about midday.
Look out for other Sweeney's tap takeovers from the UK's Wild Beer Co (Dec 19) and Tasmania's Moo Brew (Dec 22).
