Boston Beer Hop Sharing Program 20,000

A nod to Jim Koch and what is continues to do for the craft beer industry. This is a tremendous testament of his genuine concern for the industry that he has helped build over the years. For a couple of months, brewers have been facing unprecedented hops shortages. Boston Beer looked at their own supplies and decided they could share some of their hops with other craft brewers who are struggling to get hops this year. They are offering 20,000 pounds at their cost to brewers who need them. These include East Kent Goldings from Tony Redsell, a top English grower featured by Michael Jackson in Michael Jackson’s Beer Companion and German Noble hop Tettnang Tettnanger from small farms in the Tettnang region in Germany.
