BREWING INGREDIENTS

At Charles Faram, we’ve been supplying brewers with high-quality hops since 1865, making us one of the oldest and most trusted hop merchants in the world. Whether you’re crafting a traditional bitter, a hop-forward IPA, or an experimental sour, we provide an unparalleled range of hops to suit every brewing style and flavour profile.

A World of Aroma and Bitterness

We offer a comprehensive selection of hop varieties from the UK, the USA, New Zealand, Germany, Australia, Slovenia, and beyond. From the earthy, floral tones of traditional English hops to the bold citrus and tropical aromas of modern international varieties, our range is constantly evolving to keep pace with brewing innovation.

Home of the Faram’s Hop Development Programme

We’re proud to pioneer new and exciting hop varieties through our Faram’s Hop Development Programme. Created right here in the UK, our proprietary varieties — including Jester®, Olicana®, Harlequin®, and Mystic® — are bred with both flavour impact and brewing performance in mind. These British-grown hops bring modern flavour profiles with a low carbon footprint, ideal for brewers looking to balance sustainability with creativity.

Unmatched Quality and Expertise

All of our hops are carefully sourced, analysed, and processed to ensure consistency, freshness, and maximum brewing potential. With decades of experience and a team of passionate hop experts, we provide personalised support to help you select the perfect hops for your next brew — whether you’re a global brewery or a craft startup.
