The Hopheads B**r Run is heading north. 🍺🏃

Starting at La Sirène Brewing in Reservoir, we’ll be running (and walking, no judgement) our way through Hawkers B**r, BrewDog Pentridge and finishing up at Inner North Brewing Company before heading back to home base at Hopheads Yarraville.

📍 Meet: La Sirène Brewing, 277 Edwardes Street, Reservoir
🕛 12pm, Saturday 28 November
🏃 Total distance: ~8km across four stops

La Sirène → Hawkers: 1km
Hawkers → BrewDog Pentridge: 3km
BrewDog Pentridge → Inner North: 4km

This event is supported by Active Locals, who are putting some money toward the event based on the number of RSVPs we receive. Sign-up here: https://activelocals.app.link/DRCAvGdOy7b

🏎️ 𝐖𝐀𝐖𝐃𝐖: 𝐀 𝐏𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐋𝐄𝐑 𝐎𝐅 𝐀 𝐃𝐄𝐁𝐔𝐓

We’ve got a new face in the WAWDW chair this week, and if you’ve been through our stores you already know him. Connor loves his b**r, and he’s also our resident Mario Kart speed king. He’s making his WAWDW debut with Seeker’s Pearler, an ultra low carb hazy pale.

It’s a smart pick from a Mario Kart veteran. Anyone who’s played knows the lightweight racers get the best acceleration, so it makes sense that the speed king picked the lightest b**r on the shelf. This one has under 1g of carbs per can, but it hasn’t given up the soft, pillowy hazy feel. It’s double dry hopped with Victoria and Citra for sweet pineapple and a bit of citrus, at an easy 4.6%.

Seeker are from Unanderra, down near Wollongong, a brewery built around good times, good mates and a bit of adventure, and this is one of their most clever releases.

👨💬 Connor’s take: “Perfect b**r for a warm afternoon. Pours a soft, hazy gold with a juicy pineapple and light citrus character, and it’s really easy going without feeling watered down. You’d never guess it’s ultra low carb, because it keeps that smooth, pillowy hazy feel. Light, refreshing and dangerously drinkable. If you like the taste of a nice pale ale, this is the one for you.”

📍 Available in-store at all Hopheads locations.

The set drops worldwide on November 13th, which means you’ll be cracking brand new Star Trek packs the day after global release. Iconic captains as legendary creatures, famous spacecraft on cardboard, Saga cards bringing classic episode plotlines to life, and a brand new Assimilate mechanic for the Borg. It’s a big one.

And if you want to make a proper night of it — Royal Stacks burger combo is back. Add a burger (chicken, beef or veg) for $15, prepaid when you sign up.

They were here a few weeks ago. They sold out by 7:30. They’re back.

Forever Burger returns to the Back of House this Friday from 5pm — and if last time taught us anything, don’t wait until after your third b**r to order.

Pull up a seat in the laneway, grab something cold, and get in early.

Also this Friday at Altona 👇

𝐒𝐩𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐲 𝐒𝐳𝐧 𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐦-𝐔𝐩: 𝐒𝐰𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐍𝐨𝐰, 𝐒𝐢𝐩 𝐋𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 🎃

Very good turnouts across all three run clubs last week. Special shoutout to Point Cook on Thursday, which was absolutely cooking. Spring has well and truly arrived, and you all showed up for it.

This week brings the cooler gear back out. Tuesday at Yarraville is a grey, cool one, and the cloud may leave a few light showers around run time, so a jacket is a good idea. Wednesday at Altona stays dry but gets blustery, with cloud overhead and a breeze picking up through the afternoon, so wind-proof layers are the move. Thursday at Point Cook is the best of the three: cloud early, then it clears into a mild, calm evening.

Back again this week: Tuesday at Yarraville, Wednesday at Altona and Thursday at Point Cook. Meet at 6:15pm, run at 6:30pm, Hawkers tinnie at the finish. Then it’s Runner’s Refuel with the legends at Village Cantina, Pier 71 Bar e Cucina and Old Pal Korean Kitchen.

What’s on this week:
🧙 MTG Draft: Reality Fracture at Yarraville on Wednesday.
🎃 Spooky Sips with Molly Rose at Yarraville on Thursday
🍻 Blackman’s West Coast Road Trip tap showcase at Altona
🍔 Back of House at Altona with Forever Burger

Spooky Sips with Molly Rose Brewing 🎃

This isn’t your usual b**r tasting, so we’re calling it Spooky Sips. Join us at Hopheads Yarraville on Thursday 29 October from 6pm, when Nic will be in to talk all things pumpkin b**r.

He’ll also be pouring a special little sample of his brand new creation: the Pumpkin Spice Lattini.

What’s a Lattini? Is it a latte? Is it a martini? Or is it so scarily good you’ll be haunted by its deliciousness forever? Nic will fill you in on the night.

Thursday 29 October, 6pm, Hopheads Yarraville. Come in costume or come as you are. 👻

🍺 California Dreamin’ West Coast Pilsner — with Alvarado Street Brewery, Monterey (5.8%)

🍺 Salt in the Van DDH West Coast IPA — with Humble Sea Brewing Co., Santa Cruz (7%)
Double dry hopped with Simcoe, Nectaron, Citra and Krush. Maximum fruit character, maximum drinkability.

Well, this calls for a b**r! 🏆🍻

Last Friday, Hopheads won Excellence in Retail, Tourism or Hospitality at the 2026 Wyndham Business Awards. We’ve been pouring b**rs since 2015 and we were super surprised to have walked with a shiny little thing.

Winning was great. Why we won means even more.

What got us over the line was our community: you lot. From day one, Hopheads has been about bringing people together. It started with b**r (it still is!), but over the years it’s grown into sharing all the stuff we love: running, sport, music, board games, video games, trivia. You came wanting to connect, and we weirdly became the facilitators. Many of you are now friends, some practically family, and we’re honoured you’ve let us be part of your lives. Bringing people with different interests together is what we want to do a whole lot more of in the years ahead.

Small business life has its tough moments, so this one means a lot. ❤️

To Wade, our right-hand man, and our whole team, thanks for all your hard work and care. To our customers, run clubbers, gamers and community, thanks for being part of Hopheads.

Thank you to Wyndham City Council, the judges, major sponsor Williams Landing 3027 category sponsor Werribee Business & Tourism Association and event supporter Commonwealth Bank Thanks also to Wyndham Wyndham Star Weekly for the mention, Boss Mama Socials for the social coverage and David Mullins Photography for capturing the night.

Congrats to all the finalists and winners. We were in seriously good company.

See you at the bar! 🍻
