A CRAFTY BUNCH<br />
RIGHT NOW, WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF BREWING AN EXCITING WET<br />
HOP BLACK IPA, WHICH USES FRESH HOPS PICKED ON THE DAY...<br />
<strong>QHA</strong> REVIEW | 48<br />
Hugo said the last keg of Solar Eclipse was recently<br />
put on tap at the Pumpyard, but they will be continuing<br />
work on several more exciting things in the next couple<br />
of months.<br />
“As a seasonal beer, Solar Eclipse was the perfect<br />
Australian ale for bright autumn and winter days.<br />
“It was an exclusive keg-only, so it was only shared<br />
with our closest venues. We are planning to do a lot<br />
more releases like it, so people are welcome to check<br />
our Instagram @4heartsbrewing for brew-to-brew<br />
updates on stockists.<br />
“Right now, we are in the process of brewing an<br />
exciting Wet Hop Black IPA, which uses fresh hops<br />
picked on the day, so we are expecting that to be<br />
another cracker!” he said.<br />
Recognised as Best of Queensland Experiences 2022,<br />
The brewery’s Pumpyard Brewery Bar is nestled in a<br />
complex of heritage-listed red brick buildings and is<br />
one of the most relaxed and atmospheric places in<br />
Ipswich. The bar is open Wednesday to Sunday and<br />
provides live music on the weekends, a smoker stall on<br />
Sundays and, of course, great food and handcrafted<br />
beer – because the best beer is consumed in the<br />
shadow of the brewery where it was made.<br />
Hugo said, for now, it’s business as usual at 4 Hearts,<br />
so they will be continuing to focus on producing great<br />
brews for everyone to enjoy from their great city.<br />
“Incidentally, right now the back of my shirt says<br />
‘Working for the Love of Beer’ and more relevant<br />
words couldn’t be found for our brewery.<br />
“The past year we’ve worked hard to have those<br />
words reflected in 4 Hearts, and I couldn’t be prouder<br />
of the team here for nailing the kinds of beers we have<br />
been producing,” he said.
