Honoring Virginia's Legacy

At Heirloom Hops, we believe in more than just growing exceptional hops so you can create exceptional beer; we're passionate about preserving history and celebrating the rich heritage of Virginia. That's why we've chosen to name our hops after the iconic homesteads of Virginians who were our nations Founding Fathers.

Just as each of these historic estates embodies the spirit of early America, our hops pay homage to the pioneering visionaries who shaped our nation. From Monticello to Mount Vernon, these homesteads are not merely landmarks; they are symbols of courage, vision, innovation, intelligence, leadership, and resilience-values that resonate deeply with our own mission.

By naming our hops after these illustrious homesteads, we're forging a tangible connection between past and present. Each sip of beer brewed with our hops is a tribute to the indomitable spirit of our forefathers and a celebration of Virginia's rich agricultural legacy.

But our homage goes beyond mere symbolism. Just as these homesteads were centers of innovation and progress in their time, our hops represent a new frontier in craft brewing. By harnessing the unique terroir of Virginia and reviving heirloom varieties, we're pushing the boundaries of flavor and redefining what it means to craft truly exceptional beer.

So when you choose Heirloom Hops, you're not just brewing beer; you're joining us on a journey through history, flavor, and tradition. Together, let's raise a glass to the pioneers of the past and the boundless possibilities of the future.
