“Indie Hops has always approached customers with a mutual interest in making great beer, so it’s natural that Indie Hops and Yakima Chief Hops have entered into a product collaboration to bring brewers the first Strata HyperBoost,” said Ryan Hopkins, CEO of Yakima Chief Hops. “Indie has been a great partner to the brewing industry in developing hop varieties that bring new and unique flavors to brewers, and they’ve always been a strong advocate for family-owned and operated farms.”
Indie Hops CEO Jim Solberg shared his enthusiasm for the project, stating, “Collaboration is a big deal between craft brewers and can be a good thing between hop suppliers as well. We’re stoked to be collaborating with YCH to pair our standout variety Strata with their exciting new cold-side flowable HyperBoost. It’s good for us, good for YCH, and great for brewers!”
“There is a dizzying number of hop oil extracts in the market now. One key factor that attracted us to YCH HyperBoost for our variety Strata is that HyperBoost is derived solely from hops,” said Solberg. “Real hops grown by real people for brewers to excite customers who really like hoppy beer.”
