Services:

Cold Chain

The Barth-Haas Group offers customers closed-loop cold storage from baled hops to finished product, and even customer storage, assuring the utmost preservation of quality and freshness.

Farmers' hop bales are subjected to rigorous inspection to make certain that no bales are placed in the cold storage warehouses that do not meet strict quality requirements. In the warehouses, bales are stored near freezing temperatures until they are moved for further processing into pellets or extracts, and packaged for shipment.

Finished products awaiting shipment are again held in cold storage warehouses. For shipments during the summer months or shipments exposed to prolonged heat, it is recommended to use refrigerated shipping containers.

For customers wishing to have shipments throughout the year, managed inventory programs are available. Please consult with our sales staff for information on this and other programs.

Analysis

Our laboratories offer a series of standard and advanced analytical services related to hops and beer. In addition, we have acquired a particular expertise in pesticide residue analysis on hops, which can be available on request.

Pilot Brewery

Built in the mid-1990's, this state-of-the-art 2 HL pilot brewery was designed to test the influence of hops on beer. The brewery's versatility and size has made it an attractive facility for many brewers to use for their own product testing.
