We’re fast approaching the end of March. Hop farmers are finalizing their acreage for the upcoming CY2026 harvest, and they’ll be stringing hops soon.
Farmers love it when brewers sign contracts before they start stringing, as it reduces the guesswork involved. After years of overplanting and taking losses on surplus hops, farmers have been motivated to plant for contracts and not for potential spot. We’re seeing the result of this change in philosophy, as US hop acreage has fallen a staggering 30% since 2022.
To better entice brewers to help out our growing partners, we offer reduced prices on CY2026 contracts signed in the next week.
Already thinking ahead to 2027? Let us know your needs and we’ll help you save money!

Last week, YQH co-owners Tim and Lee headed west to Tieton, Washington, about 13 miles from the YQH headquarters in Yakima. There, they collaborated with @shortheadbrewing and owner/brewer Chris Mylroie for a fun little beer.
Over the past few years, we have worked to dial in our pick dates and aroma profiles of Elani® Hops (YQH-1320 cv.). Breweries large and small augmented their hop-forward beers with our proprietary hop, incorporating its bright tropical and citrus notes into some standout products.
But terroir differs across hop fields, leading to a range in aromas. To our great delight, over time we discovered that we can tease some noble hop characteristics out of Elani!
Many brewers have had major successes swapping out European hops, either in part or in full, for Elani. We believe specific lots of Elani can serve as lower-cost alternatives to traditional European varieties without sacrificing quality.
Which brings us to Shorthead Brewing. Chris, Tim, and Lee brewed up a trial version of Hana Shiro, Shorthead's Japanese-style rice lager, substituting Elani for their usual Styrian Golding. Soon, Shorthead taproom customers will be able to purchase a lager sensory flight containing the two versions of Hana Shiro. Drinkers can then vote for their preferred batch, giving both YQH and Shorthead valuable data about the Elani brand moving forward.
Stay tuned for more information!

Our collaborations with @goodingfarms turned out beautifully!
Good Tide IPA, a hazy IPA brewed at @lowtidebrewing , looks sexy in that stovetop can. Featuring Vera hops, Good Tide IPA hits with notes of muddled oranges, melon rind, grapefruit pith, lime peel, and a pleasant, earthy spice.
@sidehustlebrewingco will release their collab in the next week or so. It’s a reimagined version of their staple West Coast IPA, C-Note, and it will be available at both their Hilton Head Island and Bluffton locations. Brewed primarily with Vista, Amarillo, and Cascade, this extra special batch of C-Note is a fruit bonanza! White SweeTARTS, lemon/lime soda, grapefruit pith, and sweet pineapple juice headline our sensory experience on this clean, zesty beer.
