Faram’s have invested heavily in their facilities in both the UK and the USA to ensure the best quality hops are received by their customers.
To ensure the hops stay in the best condition we have a cold store at the Worcestershire site which stores the hops at 0°c.
The facility is up there with the best cold stores in the world for storing hops.” The 1,860m² (20,000ft²) store is capable of storing an additional 1,700 pallets. The hops are being held for customers to draw on as required.
Our transport partners are regularly reviewed to ensure the best service and rates available.

Non-hop products
As advisors and providers of a one-stop-shop we take our recommendations seriously. From Technical Advisor qualifications to reviews of our product offering
We work closely with partners to provide a one-stop-shop that provides ease and value to our brewing customers.
The website reflects the differing supply agreements that we have across countries.
We listen to customers and our team members, so if a product is not performing, we will remove it from our offering and where possible look for a more effective substitute.
We also review suggestions of possible product additions from our customers and team. Where the agreement is viable for all partners, we are keen to expand our range.
We are not exclusive in our provision of technical expertise for non-hop products. If you buy any product from us, you are entitled to free technical advise from our advisors and also from the supplier partner advisors.
