Hop harvest 2026 has begun

Last weekend 22-23rd of August, all the farms belonging to TOP HOP Group begun the hop harvest 2026.

Slowly but steadily the intake of raw hops into our refrigerated storage is increasing. Weather has been quite favourable so far and everything is running as planned. Preliminary information regarding yield and alpha acid contents indicate that this year’s harvest is most likely going to be rather below average. Our estimates are that the overal yield will drop by approximately 30%.
