The Czech Republic: This year’s hop harvest the worst in a decade
This year’s Czech hop harvest was the worst in a decade, according to the data of the Central Institute for Supervising and Testing in Agriculture, published on December 1.
The yield per hectare was the lowest since 2000, reaching only 0.9 tonnes. In total, 4452 tonnes of hops were harvested this year, compared to 8,306 tonnes in 2021.
This year’s crops were damaged by very high temperatures and droughts. Dry weather has also caused hops to have a lesser concentration of alfa acids, which are responsible for the bitter flavour in beer.
