Sprig + Fern Brewing Co. Releases Homage to the Hop Harvest

Sprig + Fern Brewing Co. is today launching a return of Monohoppily Fresh Hop Hazy, the first of three fresh hop beers for 2025.

As with the 2024 version, Monohoppily is a 5.5% ABV hazy pale ale, brewed to showcase the unrivalled character of fresh, locally-grown Riwaka™ hops.

The hops were sourced from New Hoplands and Holmdale Farms, both only a short drive from the Beach Road, Richmond based brewery. Hand-selected by Master Brewer, Tracy Banner, the hops were transported from the bine to the brew in a matter of minutes – a critical step to preserve the intensely fresh flavours that fresh hops are renowned for.

After a hectic couple of weeks of fresh hop brews, the resulting beer is said to be silky-smooth and bursting with unmistakably fruity and fresh flavours — sweet citrus and white peach take centre stage, complemented by a pleasant resinous backbone that adds depth and balance.

Monohoppily Fresh Hop Hazy is available today at all Sprig + Fern Taverns and a wide range of stockists nationwide, however is expected to sell out quickly. Stock has already been depleted of 440ml cans online, with a limited number of 888ml bottles remaining.
