CLIENT REVIEWS

Eric loves local agriculture and has been a true partner since we commissioned his expertise. He crosses his T’s and dots our I’s, takes the lead on projects with a focus on processes and industry best practices, and understands all sides of the hop market equation. We will continue to look to Eric as we focus on innovation and sustainability.
— Matthew Janzen, Marketing and Sales Manager, Wisconsin Hop Exchange
We were having some trouble isolating and expressing the desired flavors and aromas from the hops we use for our Chanhoppenin’ IPA. Eric was able to help us identify our target flavors/aromas and showed us how to better utilize our hops through timing and application, improving the overall quality of the beer without changing the batch costs. The result is a brighter, more flavorful beer that still tastes like Chanhoppenin’. We’ve also been able to apply what we learned to other recipes and the response has been very positive across the board!
— Max Filter, Head Brewer, Chanhassen Brewing Company
The class was a great experience for all of us, definitely informative and helps give our staff more of an understanding of how and why we use certain hops in our beer.
