Hop Harvest Hype

Let’s check in with our growers for the latest updates on the hops this harvest. We have some exciting updates and developments to share.  

HAWKINS FARM

Hawkins Farm welcomed 360 brewers during peak harvest for our flagship HopWalk® event while harvesting their brilliance. In these images, Hawkins were harvesting Pilgrim. Released in 2000, Pilgrim offers traditional English bitterness, perfect for bitters and pale ales, with a clean, hoppy aroma. It grows vigorously, yields well, and resists mildew and wilt.
