All hop contracts are based on a calendar brew year. As an example, northern hemisphere 2022 brew year hops will be primarily from the 2021 crop, although we reserve the right to supply previous year’s crop against a contract. All hops will be contracted in 5kg or 20kg increments. Our total contract minimum is 40kg and these can be mixed varieties. We do not buy back your “unused” hops. You are expected to purchase and pay for ALL the hops that you contract. At our discretion, any stock released from a contract will be subject to a 20% charge of the value of the amount released. Hop varieties mature and are harvested at different times so there is no way to predict when the new crop of a specific variety will arrive at our stores. Priority will be given to varieties that we are out of or low on stock. Varieties that are protected by a registered trade name can and do sell out quickly All of our hop prices are based on a sustainable pricing model to encourage growers to grow the hops for you. All of our prices are ex cold store Newland and may be shipped with other brewing ingredients. All of our hops are rotated on a first in first out basis. Prices and availability for spot hops (quantities left over after contracts are fulfilled) are subject to change on a daily basis which is why we suggest that you consider contracting your hop needs.
