A trusted partner: Hopen, Terre de Houblon

Hopen is a company specialized in the collaborative creation of a French hop‑growing sector. Hopen’s mission is to enable farmers wishing to diversify their activity to produce hops in France for brewing purposes.

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

Farmers are not Hopen’s only collaborators, as we have developed a partnership allowing us to also offer hop plants.

Although they originate from various regions, each hop comes from varieties selected for their adaptability to French soils. While they retain their main flavour characteristics, they also develop distinctive aromas typical of French terroirs. This allows you to give a unique twist to your beers using your own hop plants.
