The Michigan beer scene lost one of the greats in the past few days. Steve Berthel was a legend in the brewing industry. The passion Steve had for great beer and community was unmatched. When the Michigan hop industry started up 15+ years ago or so, Steve was so welcoming and supportive and we couldn't be more thankful for the companionship and friendship right to the end. People brew beer and do things in life for various reasons, Steve brewed beer because he loved it and he shared that love with anyone and everyone. His passion and enthusiasm was contagious. Our company owes so much thanks and gratitude to the kindness and support of people like Steve. Steve was genuinely a backbone to the Michigan beer industry and he will be greatly missed. We will raise our glasses to Steve today. Gone but never forgotten! Until next time Steve. 😔🍻

It's no seceret the Michigan Hop Industry is struggling. The shuttering of Hop Head Farms marks the last of the big, 100 acre plus hop farms in the state. With its closing, more than 75% of the hop acerage grown in the state has shut down in the past few years. From over 50 farms and close to a thousand acres in its hayday, to now maybe 10 growers and 100 acres.. the downtrend in craft beer consumption has been tough and the surplus of available hops created because of it has been a one two punch for so many.

We are proud to say we are going to push on this year, though we still face significant financial struggle ourselves. We have been commercially producing hops since 2012 and we aren't done yet, stringing roughly 18 acres of hops this year! We miss all of our growing friends who have shut thier doors before us and we certainly hope the remaining farms can find better success this year and into the future and keep thier farms in operation. (And a shout out to the OG Hop Heads Jeff and Bonnie who were pioneers in the Michigan Hop Industry) Support local when you can! 🍻🍻

The decision to cease operations comes after “multiple years of declining margins and reduced sales,” the company's CFO said.
