Please refer to their individual pages for composition and quality
characteristic for each variety of hops. Please note that due to limited supply,
not all hops may be available at all times. If you are planning a
repeated/regular or a large brewing batch, it is highly recommended that you pre-order your hop
supply in advance.
Advantages of working directly with hop-growers:
- Consistent quality year after year (subject to annual weather based variations).
In fact, you can visit our farms and check out our hops on vine and even pick
farms from which your hops will be delivered (if you have time and interest).
- Guaranteed delivery of your hops year after year – we can get in contract for up
to five years for your hops (again with further flexibility of you being able to
pick fields from which your hops are delivered). This provides tremendous
stability and future visibility to both our farmers and also to you as a brewer.
- Direct convenient delivery at your doorstep (scheduled/multiple delivery
if necessary). We handle all the import process and paperwork and delivery
logistics (currently we have hops stored at our Oakland Cold storage warehouse).
- Flexibility/visibility for growth/change – based on your future projections and
contract we can work with farmers to plant/switch hop varieties based on your
future need.
- Pricing – while pricing is not the main factor compared to above items – we are confident
we can provide at least 10-20% better pricing.
