About Hop & Brew School
Hop & Brew School® (HBS) began in 2004 as an annual event, bringing hundreds of brewers and hop enthusiasts from all over the world to Yakima, Washington. HBS attendees get the opportunity to experience a deeper connection with family farms while learning more about the important role that hops play in the brewing process. The event includes a comprehensive harvest experience, from farm and facility tours to educational brewing seminars.
As a 100% grower-owned global hop supplier, we aim to do so much more than sell hops. We strive to be a resource to the hop and brewing communities, providing industry-leading research, tools, and solutions to grow the best hops and brew the best beers.
We look forward to hosting you in the Yakima Valley, or at one of our satellite Hop & Brew School events around the globe!
