American Hops from Charles Faram: Premium Varieties, Reliable Supply

At Charles Faram, we’ve been supplying world-class hops since 1865. While our heritage is deeply rooted in British hop cultivation, our reach has long extended across the globe, and that includes strong, direct relationships with top growers in the United States. We are proud to offer a curated portfolio of American hops to breweries looking for reliable access to bold, consistent, and high-impact varieties.

As demand for hop-forward beers continues to grow, American hops remain critical to many brewers’ core and seasonal ranges. Whether you are brewing expressive IPAs, pale ales, or exploring new-world lager profiles, we are positioned to supply the US hop varieties you need with full technical backing and dependable logistics.

Consistency Through Lot Selection

Our American hops are sourced directly from leading US growers and from Yakima Chief Hops, with whom we maintain close partnerships and conduct regular on-site visits. Each year, our team travels to the Pacific Northwest to participate in lot batch ensuring that we import and purchase only those lots that meet strict standards for oil composition, aroma, and overall quality.

This means that when you order from Charles Faram, you are not just getting Citra®, Mosaic®, Simcoe® or Idaho 7® — you are getting the best available expression of those varieties, chosen specifically to meet the expectations of commercial brewers.

Full Cold Chain Integrity

Hop quality is only as good as its storage. That’s why our American hops are shipped with full cold chain management, from the farm to our storage facility in the UK.

This ensures that alpha acids, essential oils, and delicate aromatics such as linalool, myrcene, and geraniol remain intact and effective during use, particularly in dry hopping and whirlpool applications.

In-House Technical Expertise

We don’t just supply hops — we support your brewing outcomes. Our technical team, which includes experienced brewers and flavour specialists, is available to help you get the most from American hops. Whether you’re targeting biotransformation in active fermentation, managing dry hop creep, or designing aroma layering through multiple additions, we provide data-driven guidance and real-world brewing insight.

Analytical certificates — including alpha acid %, HSI, oil content, and sensory descriptors — are available for every batch. We can also advise on hop substitution, hop load efficiency, and recipe development to support your production goals.

Streamlined Ordering and Reliable Delivery

As a supplier with cold storage and integrated logistics, we offer fast, reliable delivery to breweries across the world. Our sales and warehouse teams work together to ensure orders are fulfilled promptly and accurately, helping you stay on schedule — whether you’re producing a flagship beer or a limited release.

In addition, we offer forward contracting for breweries looking to secure key American varieties ahead of time, locking in price, volume, and supply assurance across crop years.
