About Hopfields Brewery
Hopfields Brewery occupies the Brookfield Shed on the Channel Highway at Margate, a heritage-listed building where hops were once hung to dry. A local couple, Nick and Bec, run the taproom, kitchen and brewhouse on the site of an old hop farm. Private functions are stand-up, cocktail-style events for a minimum of 50 and up to 90 guests. The booking takes exclusive use of most of the taproom and restaurant plus the side and back Country Garden, while the front beer garden stays open to the public. The rustic timber space has indoor and outdoor fires, couches and comfortable chairs, with casual seating and tables set out for guests. Live music can be accommodated, and the team can suggest suppliers to match the mood. The kitchen cooks from fresh local produce, some of it from its own garden, and function food is ordered from a platter menu. Options include slider boards, arancini, fried chicken, sausage rolls and a cheese grazing platter, and a seated set menu can be arranged for large groups. Ten taps pour the house beers and cider alongside Tasmanian wines and a full spirits range. Guests can buy their own drinks at the bar, or the host can set up a bar tab, as there are no drinks packages.
