The IPA binge and growth in breweries is rippling through the ingredient sector. Water is a major concern here in California and hops have gone through some peaks and valleys in recent times as well. Maybe the slow and steady growth of hop acreage will ameliorate that problem.
You can read the full piece HERE but my take-aways are….
1. ” Hop acreage in Idaho increased by 39 percent last year ”
2. “the average U.S. price for hops rose from $3.18 a pound in 2012 to $3.59 in 2013. ”
Bear this in mind when you order up an IPA that you think is too expensive. It may just be a passing of costs down the chain.
