Hop Federation joins Kono kete of brands

Kono Beverages Ltd

Local craft beer brewery Hop Federation has joined the Kono kete of brands, which includes Tohu Wines, Kono Wines, Tutū cider, Annies fruit snacks, Kiwa oysters and Yellow Brick Road, a sustainable seafood supply business.

Chief Brewer Simon Nicholas says ‘We share their passion for sustainability, outstanding produce and making a difference in the community. The Hop Federation team are looking forward to joining the Kono whānau, and continuing to create great beer.’

Kono are a food and beverage business based in the top of the South Island. They’ve been growing hops for over 10 years and their passion for hop farming is matched with Hop Federation’s dedication for the brewer’s art. By joining forces, they have more opportunities for innovation and creativity.
