Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Whitefish, Montana, Glacier Hops Ranch (GHR) is the state’s first commercial hop supplier. The company specializes in transforming freshly harvested hops into highly concentrated natural hop essential oils using a proprietary solvent-free steam distillation process, and has developed its flagship Hopzoil® product line. This technology fully preserves low-boiling-point volatile aromatic compounds that are easily lost during traditional drying or CO₂ extraction processes, providing natural flavor and functional ingredients for the brewing, beverage, food, health, and personal care industries. Thanks to its high aromatic concentration, ease of use, cost-effectiveness, and environmental sustainability, Glacier Hops Ranch has become a key supplier in the global craft beer and natural flavor markets.
