Riwaka™ has a rockstar reputation, but in this case, it’s deserved. Riwaka hops have powerful citrus flavours, especially grapefruit.

With an almost 1:1 ratio of alpha to beta acids give it a strong sweet citrus note. Riwaka hops have been hard to source internationally, as we Kiwis love it so much we want it for our beers. However, as we’re good sorts we’ve planted loads of Riwaka hops for you Brewers offshore too.

Try Riwaka hops in your new world Pale Ales, and Pilsners, and any beer where you want a bold fruity hop to shine.

Hop Revolution is committed to growing high-health hops, developing new and exciting varietals and trialling growing techniques to produce the unique flavours our brewers are seeking.

Hop Revolution is committed to growing high-health hops, developing new and exciting varietals and trialling growing techniques to produce the unique flavours our brewers are seeking.

We are partnering with others and have our own inhouse science programme and nursery to ensure the best plants are growing on our gardens.

We have installed two brand new Wolf 1000 Pickers and Wolf Kilns to ensure our hops are dried and conditioned to the highest quality.

Our hops are grown, dried and baled onsite before being transported in cold storage in a bale form to the USA where they are pelletised and distributed directly to Brewers in USA and Canada.

Our model is to partner with leading pelletisation and cold storage facilities in-market, to utilise the best facilities available and to provide fast and reliable delivery timeframes to our brewers.

Back in 1980, a feisty South Island craft brewer named Terry McCashin came out of the hills of Nelson and single-handedly took on the two big breweries that controlled almost every aspect of beer production and distribution in New Zealand.

An ex-All Black rugby player with a reputation for hard-tackling, McCashin simply wasn’t born to follow.

Driven by his own passion for the potential of New Zealand hops, he took on the big boys by establishing his own craft brewery and his own craft beer brand, (Mac’s).

Fast forward to 2014. Dr Wheeler and Kerry Skilton, inspired and encouraged by McCashin, collaborate to create what is now New Zealand’s largest single site hop garden (116ha).

Today the hops produced on the gardens of Hop Revolution reflect not only the vision we have to bring New Zealand’s most flavoursome hops to the world but also who we are as a close-knit family of brewers, plant scientists, farmers, nurserymen and kiwis who just love a great challenge!

Now UK home brewers have their first chance to use the finest quality New Zealand hops direct from one of the worlds leading growers thanks to a new partnership with The Malt Miller where are are going direct to the farms to source the finest hops around the world.
