The friendship between Mac Hops and YCH growers dates back many years. Brent McGlashen visited and worked on @loftusranches, the Smith’s family farm, in the Yakima Valley for a season, leading to strong connections between the ‪@nzhops‬ grower and Yakima Chief Hops’ growers. Both Pacific Northwest and New Zealand hop growers have learned from one another and refined their craft to best serve brewery customers around the world. The shared values, common goals, and aligned mission makes our partnership a match made in hop heaven!
