Hop Federation Stout 440mL

Brewery & Style
Brewed in Riwaka at the heart of New Zealand hop country, Hop Federation Stout is a modern classic—combining robust malt character with the clean, balanced finish Hop Federation is known for. At 5.5%, it’s a sessionable stout with enough body to satisfy, yet smooth enough to enjoy any time of year.

Aroma
Aromas of dark chocolate, espresso, and roasted malt rise from the glass, with hints of caramel, vanilla, and a touch of smoke.

Palate
Velvety and full-flavoured with roasted coffee, cocoa, and toasty malt leading the charge. There’s a gentle creaminess through the mid-palate and a clean, dry finish with just a hint of bitterness—classic stout comfort with a refined edge.

Food Pairing
Delicious with beef stew, mushroom risotto, or barbecued lamb. Also pairs beautifully with dark chocolate desserts, sticky date pudding, or a slab of blue cheese.

Cellaring
Drinking beautifully fresh, but can hold for 12–18 months if stored cool and dark. Best served slightly below room temperature to allow flavours to open up.

Interesting Fact
Hop Federation brews from the tiny town of Riwaka, surrounded by hop fields—yet their stout proves they’ve mastered more than just hops. It's one of the brewery's best-kept secrets for those who like their beers dark and delicious.
