Each year the city of Wellington (New Zealand) erupts in a four day celebration of the annual hop harvest. Locally known as Hopstock, this week features fantastic, fresh-hopped beers made from the new season's hops, straight from the vine. Events across 18 of the cities best beer venues bring everyone together to experience 25 different fresh-hopped beers from 28 different breweries (including 3 special collaborations for those doing the math).

This year we've teamed up with Craft Beer Capital to celebrate Hopstock with a brand new beer week badge. While you're out enjoying the fresh off the vine beers created just for this event, be sure to check-in to at least five (5) different participating locations listed here between April 15th - April 21st and you'll unlock the "Hopstock (2015)" badge. Be sure to add your location for your check-in to count.
