Hop Nation brew on the Mornington Peninsula and their production site is capable of brewing alcohol-free beer alongside seltzer and myriad craft beers.
As 2024 kicks off, they're eager to welcome contract partners into their brewery.
Contract Brewing - Including Alcohol Free Beer
Hop Nation Brewing Co. is opening up its production facility to contract brewing partners.
Our Mornington Peninsula facility started operations in August 2020. Since then, we have continued to increase our cellar capacity, and are now offering contract brewing services alongside the production of our own beers and hard seltzer. With both 25hL, 50hL and 100hL tank space available, we can cater to breweries or start-ups of all sizes.
Whatever your needs are, from exclusive production to finding additional capacity outside of your current production, Hop Nation is equipped to produce kegs and a variety of can sizes and pack configurations. Having won Champion Victorian Brewery and Champion Medium Australian Brewery at 2021’s AIBA awards our team is committed to excellence - ensuring all beers are produced to the highest standard.
Conscious of our facility's environmental impact, we implement sustainable practices in the brewing process. 82kW of Solar PV was recently installed, covering the site's maximum roof space. We now save 99.9 metric tonnes of Co2 entering the atmosphere each year. The system currently powers 60% of the site's electricity needs.
