HGA Award Nominations Open

HGA is opening nominations for the Beyond the Bine and Top of the Trellis awards. These recognitions include the Beyond the Bine award, which will honor individuals or companies whose efforts have had a positive impact domestically on the US Hop Industry through production improvements, policy/regulatory/legislative efforts, market impacts, or other contributions. The second award, Top of the Trellis, seeks to recognize a commercial hop operation in the United States prioritizing sustainability. The applications can be accessed through these links: Beyond the Bine and Top of the Trellis. The deadline to complete applications for both awards is Friday, July 26.

We are excited to acknowledge the exceptional members of our industry and will present the honors at the HGA Annual Meeting during the American Hop Convention this January on Coronado Island, California.
