Welcome!
In the heart of Poperinge, lies ‘t Hoppecruyt. An authentic Flemish farm.
The Desmyter family has been growing hops here, since 1893.
Not just any hops, but the very best hops as an ingredient for exquisite beer.
The hops of ‘t Hoppecruyt result from our passion and the expertise passed on from generation to generation.
We combine our deep-rooted traditions and know-how with the most innovative techniques.
To start with: we swear by ecologic cultivation, by using carbon farming, mechanical weed control, Integrated Pest Management, agroforestry and solar energy.
Our modern machinery helps us manage every step in the production process, from cultivation through processing to transport. And it helps us work quickly.
All our hops are picked, dried, processed into pellets and packed within 24 hours. In this way we get a unique product full of flavor and aromas.
Curious? Come along, listen to our story and taste.
