HOP HARVEST

Welcome to the 2026 Haas® Hop Harvest. Each year, we’re proud to open our fields and facilities to brewers from around the world to experience the intersection of tradition and innovation in the nation’s hop capitol: the Yakima Valley. Join us this September to see what’s new, meet other brewers and industry experts, and learn about what’s next.

SCHEDULE YOUR LIVE OR REMOTE SELECTION

As the leading innovator in hop products and stewards of 2,000+ acres of farmland in Toppenish and Wenas, WA, Haas is your gateway to the future of brewing. Join us this harvest season to explore new hop varieties and time-honored favorites, discover innovative sustainability and efficiency solutions, and connect with the people who know hops from bine to beverage.

Contact your Haas Sales Representative for information about in-person or remote hop selection opportunities.

TRADITIONAL SELECTION

Brewers contracting a minimum of 5,500 lbs of qualifying varieties and products are invited to take part in traditional hop selection. This time-honored, hands-on sensory evaluation allows brewers to assess the fresh crop and tailor their pellets for the upcoming year, ensuring each lot meets their unique brewing needs.

NEXT GEN SELECTION

With a minimum commitment of only 220 lbs per variety, Next Gen Selection opens the door to brewers of any size to take part in the selection process and reap the benefits of a sensory-driven, data-supported platform for hop procurement. Next Gen is a great way to ensure consistent hop profiles throughout the year and avoid the guessing game when buying on spot. Learn more about Next Gen Selection.
