    Well, the UK company never replied to my message, so I assume they have no interest in servicing their potential customer base down under...


    HOWEVER...

    I found ANOTHER Hoptimus Prime beer! The Hoptimus Prime Brewing Company which is situated much closer - New Zealand. By the looks of it they are part brewing company, part music event organizers and part... well... lets just say 'think of the episode where Homer harvested the wrong herbs and put them in the hippies vegetable juice' and you get the idea of the kind of beer they make

    Here is their facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/hoptimusprimebrewing?group_id=0

    and here is their logo:

    Whether they would import this or not (and if customs would nab it) who knows? Maybe will send an inquiry off and see if I have better luck here. I get the feeling while Hasbro may have endorsed the UK one, this one - not so much.

    They're hops leaves - a key ingredient for making beer.

    Yeah, I knew they weren't marijuana leaves (go to enough hippy festivals and you know what they look like). But I did some investigation on the company and what they do with music festivals and other stuff and the hops leaves are a subtle-nod to the leaves they can't advertise. It's a 'we-are-saying-it-but-not-saying-it' thing
