EPIC BREWERY HOP PARTY - TAPAWERA, NZ
Over 15 seasons, Colin Oldham’s hop gardens were the biggest producer of organic hops in the world. Ninety-nine per cent of New Hoplands produce goes to beer-makers in Europe and America; the remaining one per cent to New Zealand craft brewers. A day in the hop fields with Luke Nicholas as we visit Colin Oldham at Tapawera drinking the best of Epic Beers and watching the harvest get processed
