Crosby Hops, an independent, fifth-generation hop grower, processor, and merchant based in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, has started distributing directly to Canadian brewers.
This expansion ensures Canadian breweries of all sizes gain streamlined access to Crosby’s full portfolio of hops, advanced products, and customer experience tools, delivered with the same high standards and flexibility already enjoyed by U.S. brewers.
Crosby’s entry into Canada as a direct supplier builds on its reputation for quality, innovation, and customer-first service. By removing distribution barriers, Canadian brewers will now have the ability to order Crosby hops directly from the source, giving them more choice, fresher hops, and an enhanced connection to the farms that fuel their creativity.
To support this expansion, Crosby has strategically positioned warehouses to enable faster, more efficient delivery across both Eastern and Western Canada. The company will also manage all brokerage and customs logistics, making it easy for Canadian brewers to order directly with confidence and convenience.
“Canada is one of the most dynamic craft beer markets in the world, and Canadian brewers deserve direct access to the hops, products, and services that help them thrive,” said Blake Crosby, CEO of Crosby Hops.
“This move eliminates unnecessary layers and gets our hops into Canadian brewers’ hands faster, fresher, and with the level of service we’re known for. It’s about building a closer connection with brewers and supporting their continued innovation.”
The partnership benefits Canadian brewers with an enhanced selection, with brewers able to access Crosby’s curated hop portfolio, including T-90 pellets, CGX® Cryogenic Lupulin Pellets, and CGX® NUVO cryogenic fresh hops.
Advanced Hop Products: With Crosby’s patented CGX® cryogenic lupulin pellets, brewers can achieve more flavor intensity with less input while improving beer yield and reducing storage, shipping, and handling.
