History of the company
TOP HOP GROUP was founded in 1991 with the aim of offering best quality Saaz hops. In the beginning we worked in offices in the heart of Prague, as well as a detached office in Žatec (Saaz). However in 2012 most of us moved to the newly built production plant in a village called Hořesedly.
