Hops

 

Hop Pellets - Domestic  |  Hop Pellets - Imported  |  Leaf Hops
 

We have only the highest quality domestic and imported hops.  All one ounce leaf and pellet hops are packaged in oxygen barrier bags with precise alpha acids printed on each bag.  Please designate weight when ordering (A or B)  Hop brochures available upon request.

WARNING:  Hops can cause malignant hyperthermia in canines, usually with fatal results.  Even small amounts can trigger a potentially deadly reaction,  including “spent” hops from the brewing process.  Immediate action should be taken if hops are consumed by a dog.
