With a vast supply of water and unique varieties found nowhere else, the Midwest is the future of hops farming in America.
Why Midwest Reserve Hops?
In early US history, the Midwest grew most of the country’s hops. When Prohibition was enacted, the hops industry was shut down and farmers moved west. Today, declining western water supplies and growing hops demand has midwestern farmers planting hops again.
Growing Water Crisis
Spring snowpack, which supplies almost all the water for hops production in the Pacific Northwest, declined 30% from 1955-2016. Growing hops in the Midwest is a sustainable, water-friendly solution.
Terroir Matters
More and more brewers are noticing differences between Midwest-grown hops and Western hops. Even the same varieties, like Chinook, can smell and behave wildly different depending on where they’re grown.
Dependable Supply Chain
We’ve teamed up with farmers across the Midwest to pool our resources and hops. Even at the commercial level, you’ll never have problems securing the hops you need.
Who is using Midwest Reserve Hops?
Our goal is to make Midwest-grown Hops available to all brewers worldwide. If you want Midwest Reserve Hops, we’ll find a way to make it happen. Period.
