Beer is a Conversation: Owen Johnson

Hop Products Australia has just released its 2018 Hop Harvest Report and so this week on Beer is a Conversation, Matt delves into the report with Sales and Marketing Manager Owen Johnson.

The 2018 harvest saw a 10.4% increase in yield over 2017, but even that was 10% below expectations. Owen explains why that was, what hops are in demand and what they forecast for the future.

Stay tuned at the end for a bonus chat with Jeremy Moynier, Stone Brewing’s Senior Manager of Innovation and Supply Chain. James caught up with him to discuss how American brewers are using Australian hops.

Enjoy the conversations.
