"Earlier in 2016, Sam & Duncan opened the giant roller door to the instantly-popular brew bar, Hop Nation. The warehouse is located in a thick of factories in industrial Footscray. It also sits along an unofficial westside craft beer crawl, between stops at Two Birds in Spotswood and the well-stocked taps at Bar Josephine or The Night Heron (maybe grab a West City ale to stick with the local theme?) The cathedral-like space is seriously impressive, with a huge mezzanine overlooking the magical beer factory below. In a bid to make sure you never leave (as if you needed a reason!), there will often be a food truck parked out the front. They have found themselves amongst plenty of "Best of" lists and a loving place in our fridge. Current recommendation: ‘The Punch’ Mango Gose. But if you happen to read this during winter, let’s pray to the hop-gods that the barrel-aged Russian Imperial Stout has been resurrected.

We have always loved Hop Nation for its fantastic beers, so we were excited to see that it now offers dining options. We tried the All American Square and the Cosacca. Both pizzas were packed with flavor and paired perfectly with the beers.
The service was fast and friendly.
While the square pizza was a bit more doughy than we prefer, it was still delicious. We’ll be coming back for more pizza and, of course, their amazing beers!

Wonderful selection of stout. The Buzz is a refreshing hop-laden red/amber ale. Their imaginative and tasty range of stouts pays respect to and extends the rich caramel tastes that we happily explored to our hearts content. So should you!
The lovely wood fired pizza only added to a very happy experience indeed. 5 stars 😎

Straight up to my personal top 5 Breweries!!!!.
Great use of a beautiful space, creating a very welcoming and warm ambience.
And, yes, great beer.
I'm looking forward to coming back to try their pizzas with some other of their beers.

Delicious pizzas and an excellent selection of beverages; we were especially impressed with the volume of non-alcoholic options. Square pizzas were really interesting and not like anything we've had before.

Great place to get together with mates and have a few pints. Surprisingly good pizza & garlic bread for a brewery -- including gluten free options!
