From April 29-May 1, 2025, Bohemia Hop participated in the international Craft Brewers Conference and BrewExpo America held in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA. At our booth, we welcomed business partners not only from the United States but also from many countries in Europe, Asia or South and North America, and discussed the quality and future of Czech hops.

One of side events was the traditional Brewing Like Czechs Do supported by the Czech Ministry of Agricaltural, attended by several hundred guests. The keynote speaker was brewmaster Adam Brož from Budějovický Budvar who presented Czech lager production and also companies supplying raw materials and technologies. Bohemia Hop together with the Hop Growers Union presented Czech hop varieties - Saaz, Saaz Shine, Sladek, Premiant, Agnus and Kazbek. Guests had the opportunity to taste beers from Budvar as well as from U.S. breweries Saint Arnold (Houston, TX) and Utepils (Minneapolis, MN) that use Czech hop varieties.

The event concluded with the World Beer Cup 2025 awards ceremony. We are thrilled to congratulate Pivovar Matuška, which earned a gold medal for its beer Broumy in the Kellerbier category after many years. Among the award winners in the Bohemian Style Pilsner category were Japanese breweries brewing with Czech hops and the winner was Yokohama Brewing Company – our warmest congratulations to all!
