Phenhops
Groupe Berkem has partnered with a company from the Southwest of France, committed to provide craft brewers with high-quality, locally sourced hops. Hops is a high-value crop, ideal for diversification farming. It thrives in well-draining, sandy-loam soils and sunny areas. Successful cultivation requires a trellising system that can hold 20 to 30 kilograms and guide the plant clockwise, as hops grow as vines. Hops cultivation & harvest ensure exceptional quality of Groupe Berkem’s hops extract through a precise process. Once dried, hops cones are gathered, vacuumed, and ground into pellets. Extraction of hops takes place at Groupe Berkem facility in Gardonne (near Bordeaux), located less than 100 km away.
