Soft Winter Wheat Malt

Bertwell organic hops provide full floral aromas and a light citric finish.

Tested at 5% Alpha acid.

Bertwells can be obtained fresh early in September, or dried and baled year round. The hops are carefully dried by about 50%, then baled and frozen to retain their brewing qualities for up to 2 years.

Grinding and custom package sizing are available on request.

Bertwell hops may be the first truly Ontario hop. Plants found by Ian Hanna near Picton in 2004 were propagated and tested for two years to determine their ability to produce brewing quality hops.

They are a prolific and hardy variety with consistent brewing qualities comparable to any classic ale hop.

Bertwell hops are named for Bert Grant, the iconic craft brewer (and inveterate hop lover), and Wellington County, the site of their first commercial hopyard.

Lab testing and test brews strengthened a belief that these plants are probably British survivors from Prince Edward County’s ‘Barley Days’, when Upper Canada was a barley and hop growing stronghold of the British Empire.

Bertwell hops have been an ingredient of choice in beers made by Stonehammer Brewing,the London Brewing Co-operative, Charles Maclean, Paul Dickey, Niagara College’s Teaching Brewery, Wellington County Brewery, Nickelbrook Brewery, Trafalgar Brewing, and Mill St. Brewery.

Bertwell hops are grown by select individuals to organic methods, hands on cultivation, and hand picking, to ensure the hops are in their optimum condition, free from damage and contamination, upon delivery.

A personal commitment to organic food has been translated to the operating principles of Harvest Hop & Malt. Only top quality product will be presented to customers who appreciate chemical free, local, organic ingredients.

Expansion of Bertwell production is underway through growing arrangements with 4 other organic minded growers across Ontario. This year, 410 plants are at full maturity, for a total of 1120 in the ground for increased volume in 2-3 years.

Customers will be able to advertise their 100 mile (or less!) supply, and be assured of predictable volumes every year. Using locally grown ingredients, telling the stories abut the farmers and maltsters who provided them, will educate the public to vote with their dollars for truly local beers!
