Green Gold – German Hops for Beer All Over the World

German hop growers can take heart, because their crops are more in demand than ever. Beer is increasing, not in Germany, but elsewhere in the world, especially in China and Eastern Europe. And brewers need hops to give their beer the true flavor. Hop prices have almost doubled in recent years, thanks to increased demand and poor harvests.
