OUR VALUES

INNOVATIVE SPIRIT Standing still is never our style – we’re wired to shake things up.New ideas, fresh twists, and clever upgrades gets us going.
FLAVOUR FIRST Flavour is our true measure. From the initial spark of an idea to the first taste, we chase expressive flavours that deliver every time and keep you wanting more
QUALITY OBSESSED We’re fully in the details. We fuss, we tweak, we obsess, we master—so every experience is consistently a great one.
DO GOOD BUSINESS We’re in this for the long haul. Supporting our neighbours, cutting waste, and treading lightly on the planet is how we roll.

Hop Nation is independently owned and operated by good mates and former winemakers, Sam Hambour and Duncan Gibson. As a sustainably conscious craft brewery, we have cemented ourselves as a staple in Melbourne’s respected beer scene. With “In Hops We Trust” as our motto, we’re renowned for our innovative full-flavoured styles and experimental use of quality natural ingredients. 

The Hop Nation brand has rapidly grown since the release of its first ‘The Fiend’ IPA in 2015 and now consists of a solid core range of brews and an extensive list of limited-edition beers, as well as ’Ray Hard Seltzer, Site Wine, Dart Distilling Gins, and Dog Nation – a bone broth-based beer for pups.

We’re a small group of fun-loving humans, working together to create authentic brews for our craft beer community.
