Lovers of those beers with a gently mellow hop character, look away now. The Wheatsheaf Hotel, one of Adelaide’s premier craft beer venues, launches into September with a month of Humulus Lupulin-laden brews for those who need that spicy/citrusy/punchy/grassy/perfume-y/meadow-fresh enjoyment that only a hop-driven beer can provide. Jade and the crew at The Wheaty will lead drinkers through a dazzling array of beers which will showcase the Cone of the Bine in all its many incarnations.

The Fountain of Hoppiness is set to put a spring in one’s step and a pucker in one’s moosh this September as we do our bit to engage the ‘Lupulin Threshold Shift’ across the land.

2. Birra del Borgo/Dogfish Head My Antonia Imperial Pils
