Billy Goat Hop Farm
2024 Hop Quality Group Cascade Cup Winner - First farm to win two consecutive years!
2023 Hop Quality Group Cascade Cup Winner - First non-WA or OR farm to ever win!
Billy Goat Hop Farm is the largest hop farm in the Southwest, providing superior quality fresh, whole cone, and pelletized hops directly to craft brewers. Starting in 2017, they've grown to 32 acres that produce 9 varieties of amazing hops. Owners and farmers Chris and Audrey pride themselves on creating genuine farmer-brewer relations and bringing true craft into their process. Combining traditional hands-on practices and state-of-the-art technology, they use less water and chemicals which transcends into a healthier ecosystem, soil, and hop plants. Brewers enjoy the bright aroma and subtly unique flavor profile imparted from Colorado's terroir, and the passion poured into every step of the process. They are also the first farm to win Hop Quality Group's prestigious Cascade Cup outside of Washington or Oregon and the first farm to win the award two years in a row. Know your farmer, Love your beer.
