Spring mechanized hop shoot pruning kicks off in early April 🌱 Dual-disc pruners remove last year’s canes, protect crown buds, and orient new shoots for optimal air flow & light. Faster, healthier, less labor.

May kicks off the vegetative season in the hop fields: first shoots emerge from rootstocks, our teams pick the two strongest per hop string, and guide them clockwise on the tensioned hop wire. This ensures vigorous bines ready for a lush harvest! 💚

Chmelfest 2025 lit up Žatec on May 17! 🎉 Parades, hop-and-beer games, live bands, and tastings of May lagers at the Žatec Brewery celebrated centuries of hop tradition. Museums and the Temple of Hops & Beer opened their doors, too—no wonder Žatec’s the “City of Hops”! 🍻🌿
