When it comes to purchasing hops, you have options. Contracting hops for future brewing needs is a great way to ensure you always have the hops you need, when you need them, at a fixed price, allowing for improved budget forecasting. Purchasing hops on the spot market as needed is a low-commitment option for those who need greater flexibility, though prices are subject to fluctuation. Many breweries opt for a combination of the two, using long-term contracts to stabilize necessities, while shopping the spot market for one-off brands, and taking advantage of market promotions.
