HOP NATION IS A CRAFT BREWERY STARTED IN 2014 BY
WINEMAKING FRIENDS SAM HAMBOUR AND DUNCAN GIBSON
“It takes a lot of good beer to make good wine” – with years of work and travel through several
wine regions of the world between them, Sam and Duncan have been exposed to not only great
wines of the world, but incredible international beers. With this behind the scene influence and
years of backyard brewing experience, they decided to create a craft brewery in Melbourne,
Australia.
With a name like Hop Nation, hops are a natural focus. Our beers will be made using quality,
natural ingredients, small batch brewing, no fining or pasteurization and minimal filtration.
