Hey there, Hop Fam! We hope you’ve got your beer mugs ready because we’re about to spill the beans on the awesomeness that went down at Hop Temple today. We rolled up our sleeves bright and early to set the stage for an unforgettable week ahead. Trust us, you won’t want to miss a single hoppy moment!
First things first – Trivia Night! The laughter was flowing as freely as the craft beer as our favourite brainiacs battled it out for the title of trivia champions. And let’s talk about team names – a massive shoutout to “Fact Hunt” for their brilliantly witty moniker. You’ve got us in splits, seriously!
But hold onto your hops because here comes the highlight of the night. Our incredible trivia hosts, Kaelan and Ben, had us in stitches with a mini-game that none of us saw coming. Picture this: a Rubik’s cube, three brave volunteers, and the challenge to keep at least one finger touching the cube. The prize? A free drink and extra points for the team. Sounds simple, right? Well, think again!
One brave contestant decided to rewrite the rulebook. With the stealth of a ninja, she snatched that Rubik’s cube away from the others, leaving them bewildered and, dare we say it, cubeless! Talk about strategic genius. She claimed the victory and our sides hurt from laughing so hard. Who knew a cube could cause such chaos?
But wait, the fun doesn’t stop there. Tomorrow, get ready to belt out your favourite tunes at “The Best of OZ” musical bingo, all for a good cause as we team up with Food is Free Inc. Music and charity – that’s a combo that’s hard to resist.
Then, dust off your boots and don your flannel for Friday’s Hop Hoedown. It’s our monthly country music night, and Sandie Dodd is set to rock the stage live from 9pm. Trust us, you won’t be able to resist tapping those feet.
Saturday afternoon kicks off with a bluesy bang as Geoff Achison takes the stage at 1:30pm for the Ballarat Blues Festival. And did you know it’s International Dog Day? We’ve got treats for your furry pals, and a paw printing station for a memory that’ll last longer than a bone.
Saturday night, get ready to groove to the tunes of Untapped as they deliver live covers that’ll have you on your feet from 9pm. And as the week draws to a close, we’ve got a grand finale planned just for you. Charlie Bedford will grace us with live blues originals, followed by the legendary Kill the Keg starting at 5pm. And the icing on the bluesy cake? A live jam session featuring a lineup of incredible artists from the blues festival weekend.
Don’t let FOMO get the best of you! Hurry and book those tables before they vanish like foam on a fresh pint. With a lineup like this, the only question is – are you ready to hop into the week of a lifetime? Grab your pals, your pups, and your dancing shoes. It’s going to be a week you’ll be toasting to for years to come. Cheers to Hop Temple, where the fun never stops and the beer flows like, well, beer.
