Fresh Hop Beer Festival

30/01/2024

Hi Fresh Hop B**r supporters,

We have some news to share with you all. After holding the Fresh Hop Festival in the Derwent Valley for the last three years, we've decided to take a little break for 2024. As a result, we won't be holding a festival this year.

This decision wasn't made lightly, but it's important for us to take a step back and consider what we want the Fresh Hop Festival to evolve into in the future.

We’d like to thank everyone who has supported the festival here in New Norfolk including brewers, sponsors, food trucks, musicians and of course, our wonderful b**r loving patrons! We can't wait to raise a glass with you again in the future. Stay tuned for updates, and in the meantime, keep supporting our wonderful Tasmanian craft breweries!

Cheers,

The Fresh Hop B**r Festival Team
