Hop Harvest Tour Hallertau
Let’s Go To The Hop Fields of Germany!
We will welcome you to the Hallertau region, which has an incredibly significant hop history, but is also critical in developing hops for the future. With support from our colleagues, expert hop growers, and a visit to the Society for Hop Research, we will take you on a journey of discovery and learning.
Da die Veranstaltung auf Englisch stattfindet, ist die Sprache dieser Seite Englisch.

Our Hallertau Hop Harvest Tours provide an extensive look at our harvest process. Our expert hop growers will host you in their fields and answer your questions. Development of new hops has never been more vital, so we include a visit to the Society for Hop Research. We also arranged for a special cultural experience... You will return home with new knowledge and ideas to implement in your own breweries, along with connections developed with your fellow tour guests.
We will email a credit card payment link to attending guests to confirm their spot. Please note that we will allot three FUNDED spaces on our tours at random to confirmed guests.

The amazing team at BarthHaas hosted us perfectly, all we had to do was soak up the information given by various experts in their field. Plus we sampled some of the best, true-to-style beers Germany has to offer. The company of other brewers added even more to the experience. – Rob Neale

The connections and education from these tours is inspiring and rejuvenating. However, our previous costs for this tour were over £1000 per person - because we take care of our people. In order to demonstrate your commitment and participation, and to defray some of the tour costs, we have implemented a tiering schedule. As part of the attendance confirmation, breweries above 15 hectolitres will be asked to pay a £200 administration fee. Below 15 hec will be only £100. Additionally, we will allot three FUNDED spaces on our tours at random to confirmed guests!
Please note that we will only process this fee once we and you have confirmed your attendance- and it is always free to register your interest. We assure you, you will reap so much value on this tour in networking, education and experience!
Deadline to register your interest for the 2023 Hop Harvest Tours is 10th May 2023.
