Home Brew Ohio is very excited to announce that we now carry Hang'em High Hops. SHOP NOW
Hang’em High Hops is a 28-acre hop farm established in 2017 located in beautiful Northern Michigan. Initially, the hops farm started back in 2014 under Mast Brothers Farms; then expansion and a name change came in 2017, and eventually the farm was adjusted to move away from commonly grown hops to Michigan Proprietary Hops.
