In partnership with HPA, Australia's leading hop grower, we're delighted to publish a series of podcast episodes - an Aussie Hop Series - looking closely at some of the country's most recognised and impactful hop varieties.

We'll be speaking with leading brewers from across Australia and abroad, as well as experts from HPA, discussing their experience with these iconic hops, what they've learned along the way, as well as some technical tips and tricks to maximise the impact of these hops in their beers.

In this first episode, we spoke to Caolan Vaughan, head brewer at Stone & Wood, and Michael Capaldo from HPA, about Galaxy, a hop that today needs almost no introduction. We hope you enjoy the chat!
