Little Green Hop Special Release

($100 for Cut Above Gin Club Members)

This Hop Gin in collaboration with Little Green Men Brewing Co in Tasmania, started the way the best Tassie ideas do — over a drink, with a few “what if we…?” moments and a shared obsession with flavour.

Rachel Alberti, our Distiller and Production Manager, teamed up with Tom Green from Little Green Men Brewing Co to create a hop-forward gin that feels fresh, modern, and seriously drinkable — not “beery”, not heavy… just clean hop lift in a glass.

And the best part? Rachel and Tom completed their distilling and brewing studies together (Undergraduate Certificate in Fermentation), learning all things distilling side-by-side. So in true Tasmanian form, it only felt right to join forces again — working together to create something genuinely stunning.

Tom brought the brewer’s perspective, including the Tasmanian Galaxy Hop he uses in their renowned brewing, chosen for its signature aromatic punch — think tropical fruit and citrus zest, with that crisp green hop snap. Rachel then shaped it through the still, dialling in the hop intensity so it stays lifted, not loud, and balancing it all with pure Tasmanian water and small-batch precision.

To finish, we layered in fresh citrus — lime and orange — adding brightness and sparkle that makes the hops feel even more vibrant from first sniff to final sip.
