I had the honor to write new website copy for Alpha Hop Sales, a small hop broker in Idaho. Co-founder, Debbie Gebert, was frustrated with some of the work she had received before. After spending some time learning about her story and her business, she hired me to write the story for her landing page.

Regional and national breweries need hops, and lots of them. Most hop brokers prefer to serve large brewers, with large contracts and large quantities of hops.

That’s not who we are. 

Smaller, community-minded breweries need high quality, true to variety hops along with flexibility and personal service that will support their small business.

That’s who we are. 

That’s who we serve. 

The Challenge

At the end of a long brew day, you shouldn’t have to waste your time worrying about the quality or quantity of your hops. Instead, you should sip on a beer of your own making, reveling in the flavor of locally grown Idaho hops with your guests, neighbors, and community.

Craft beer is a business built on flavor, passion, and relationships. We appreciate the uniqueness of each of our craft brewers. We recognize your contribution to the industry and celebrate it. We want to partner with you to create a better, beer-filled future for all.

The Beginning

In 1980, when beer with color and flavor was still largely unheard of, native Idahoan Debbie Gebert sat across the road from a hop warehouse and wondered what they were doing over there. One year later, she found out and began a career spanning three decades in hops. She personally witnessed the challenge smaller breweries face and decided to do something about it. She then collaborated with a local hop grower to start a business dedicated to small brewers called Alpha Hop Sales.

The Solution

Debbie has experience as a small business owner and overseeing multi-million dollar budgets as a school Business Manager. She combines these experiences with her passion for hops to pursue a better and more personal approach to a quality hop business. As the managing partner, she enjoys serving small brewers who are often overlooked and underserved.

Alpha Hop Sales is the go-to supplier for small brewers because we know that hop contracts carved in concrete can kill a small brewery faster than a Brett contamination. 

We provide small craft brewers with hops and hop products from Idaho as well as those grown domestically and internationally. However, our focus remains on building a good business relationship with you by giving you the best and most flexible service that you deserve.
