Glacier Hops Ranch

The origins of Glacier Hops Ranch (GHR) began quietly in 2012, as the first commercial hopyard in Montana. Originally established to test the Flathead Valley’s microclimate for aroma, yield and vigor at a latitude equal to Germany’s famed hop-growing region, GHR now supports other growers in developing markets for their hops. In the ensuing years, GHR has evolved into becoming a global Broker/Dealer of premium processed hops sourced directly from hop growers and warehouses around the world. Our objective is to provide single-sourcing for our customers of the most requested varieties at the most competitive prices. GHR is also the sole global producer of Hopzoil™. In 2015 we began testing the viability of extracting hop oils from fresh, wet hops right out of the field. We now produce a fresh-hop, steam-distilled pure essential oil through a proprietary process that captures the freshness of hops in the field at the peak of ripeness. Hopzoil™ allows brewers and beverage producers the ability to capture those full-strength, pure volatile oils that are typically lost in the traditional hops drying process and put that fresh hop sensory impact right into the finished beverage.
