We grow, process and supply
best quality Czech hops
to breweries all around the world
Our hops
We grow our hops only in the best locations of Saaz Hop Growing Region, particularly in Underwood and Golden Creek Valley. Suitable location of our hop gardens and thorough care for the plants guarantee that the final product we offer always is of outstanding quality.
Products and services
We process our own production, as well as that of other growers, in our own processing plant located in Hořesedly. This processing plant was built in 2012 on a former brownfield. Production line and refrigerated storage are equipped with high-tech technology, which ensures best quality of the final product – pellets T90 and T45. Subsequently we supply these hop pellets to breweries all around the world, both to the small home brewers as well as the largest multinational brewing corporations.
„Adding bitterness to beer is simle, but only top quality hops can provide full flavour, rich bouquet, pleasant bitternes and smooth aftertaste.”
–Dr. Karel Osvald
