On March 25, 1991, BOHEMIA HOP, a.s. was officially registered in the Commercial Register.
According to the company’s founding charter dated March 18, 1991, its mission was to make a significant contribution to the prosperity of Czech and Slovak hop growing—primarily through the efficient sale of hops on both global and domestic markets, the introduction of progressive methods in hop cultivation and processing, and the provision of modern machinery, technologies, fertilizers, and crop protection products through imports.
On the occasion of 100 years of hop research in Bohemia and Moravia, the Hop Research Institute has published a new comprehensive monograph entitled “HOP GROWING – cultivation, properties and use of hops.”
The team of authors, led by Ing. Karel Krofta, Ph.D., consists mainly of researchers from the Hop Research institute Žatec, complemented by experts from leading Czech universities, including the University of Chemistry and Technology Prague, the Czech University of Life Sciences Prague, and Charles University Prague.
