Yakima Chief Hops has been supplying brewers worldwide with quality hops for
more than 30 years. Developing some of the most cutting-edge products in the
market, YCH has become a driver for creativity and innovation in the global
beer industry.
The expansion into Europe will greatly improve the YCH customer experience,
including increased access to their extensive portfolio of products and
varieties as well as improved logistics and faster delivery times to brewery
customers.
"Establishing a foundation here in Europe speaks to the commitment YCH has to
delivering the highest quality hops directly to its global brewing customers,"
said Denis Gayte – Managing Director for YCH Europe. "Our new facility ensures
that our hops grown in America's Pacific Northwest can be stored here in Europe
and delivered to customers in the best possible condition."
Located in Mont Saint Guibert, the 6,600 sqm2 warehouse includes cold storage
capacity to house up to 8,800 pallets of hops, office space, a taproom and a
visitor center where customers can learn about hops and sample beers using YCH
products. YCH also invested in a homebrew production line allowing the ability
to offer high-quality hop pellets in smaller size packaging for home and nano
brewers.
The facility was also designed with sustainability in mind, as it supports an
1800-panel solar array, producing 750 MW of energy, or about half of the
building's total consumption. The green construction, design and operation plan
centers around waste diversion, water conservation and healthfulness of
interior spaces. The building runs on renewable energy and uses higher
efficiency fixtures that reduce energy and water consumption.
