2019 CHAMPIONS
HOP HOOLIGANS, Romania
Using COMET hops, Hop Hooligans impressed our panel of independent judges with their COLLISION COURSE hazy IPA. Since their win, they’ve hired an additional full-time brewery employee, launched their cans available for purchase online through Honest Brew, and (thanks to the generous UnderDog travel fund!) joined BarthHaas X on the Hallertau Hop Harvest Tour to enjoy the second-largest hop growing region in the world, as well as poured at or attended about a dozen festivals which increased their brand recognition.
