Hop Federation joins Kono kete of brands
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.’
