Who We Are

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 in the USA, Germany, New Zealand, the Czech Republic, Slovenia, South Africa, Australia, and the UK. Our objective is to provide single-sourcing for our customers of the most requested varieties at the most competitive prices.
