You’ve probably seen a bit of buzz about this already. In case you haven’t, though, Hopwired is back!
February 2018 saw Canada’s very first coffee beer festival, with local breweries pairing up with local coffee roasters to create a staggering amount of coffee beer. The end result, Hopwired, was a massive amount of fun, that resulted in a very tipsy and very wired coffee snob.
The Lineup
This year promises to be even bigger, with triple the number of vendors, much more space, panel talks (hosted by yours truly) and awards. Not to mention, Mike, one of the organizers, getting the best cardio workout of his life as he runs about the place like a crazy bugger, trying to make sure we all have fun.
