A Partner of Choice: Hopen, Land of Hops

Hopen is a company specialized in the collaborative creation of a French hop industry. Hopen's mission is to enable farmers seeking diversification to produce hops in France for brewing.

To achieve this, Hopen produces hop plants in the Loiret region and supplies them to farmers so they can propagate and grow them.

Farmers are not the only collaborators with Hopen, as we have developed a partnership to also offer hop plants.

Though from diverse origins, each hop comes from varieties selected for their adaptability to French soils. While they retain their main taste characteristics, they also develop distinctive and typical aromas of the French terroirs. Thus, you can give a unique twist to your beers with your own hop plants.
