NZ Craft Beer TV - Mash Up - Episode 7 - Hop Farm and Totara Brewing

After heading inland and over a hill, we arrive at Totara Brewing Company. Jump in the ute, head across the road to the hop farm and check out the newly flowering hops. Discuss the varieties grown, and New Zealand organic hops. Then we head back to the brewery. Yes a brewery run by hop growers. Taste the beers and say cheers.

A travel show, of a road trip around the craft breweries of New Zealand hosted by brewers Luke Nicholas and Kelly Ryan. We visit the breweries and interview the brewers, to capture their stories and their passion, with the resulting being the world's largest collaboration brew, involving 44 of New Zealand's craft brewers.

Quality like always. I appreciate the episode on hops, as I'm a homebrewer and have been very VERY interested in using NZ hops such as Nelson and Rakau specifically.
