This week on Beer is a Conversation we talk hops. But not hops in Tasmania, Victoria or Yakima…Hops in Brisbane as we speak with Andrew Carson from Hilltop Hops.

The conventional narrative is that hops can’t grow in places like Brisbane and as you’ll hear from Andrew they can’t really be grown commercially, but they can be grown. The question is why and that’s what we delve into in this conversation as we hear Andrew’s story of finding a way to get involved in an industry that you love doing something that you enjoy as what we might term an ambitious hobby.
