Hops Hertrich - VETO

Behind the Hertrich Hopferei is a beer family as it is written in the book. Father, mother, and the sons are all beer enthusiasts - or at least let themselves be infected by the hype of the others. The Hertrich men set a good example for dear Karin, mom and wife in the bunch, and were able to convince her with lots of beer and even more enthusiasm for beer. A beer love story that also produces excellent beer!

(Not) Only hops in the head

With the Hertrichs from the Hertrich Hops Company, the name says it all. Not only does the family have its own hop plant in front of the house, which was used to brew the first brews. Hops also play a major role in other ways. The Hertrichs are passionate about the miraculous powers of hops and know perfectly how to put hops to use with all their abilities and manifold flavor components. In beers like the Lammbock or their White Shark, the carefully selected hop varieties unfold their full aroma and surprise with unusual flavor notes.

The Hertrichs are true hop artists - a craft that has always interested them. Ralph is the family's self-taught brewer and the one who immersed himself in the subject with the help of brewing seminars and diligent reading. His sons share this enthusiasm, and even his wife Karin can't resist the irresistible charm of barley juice for long. The beginning of a dreamlike beer story!

Real beer for Franconia

If there are three beer sommeliers in a single family, then that already testifies to great dedication. But the Hertrichs are not only beer sommeliers, they are also great advocates of craft-brewed, honest beer. In Franconia's wide-ranging beer landscape, there are still countless breweries today that brew exceptional beers with great attention to detail and craftsmanship. According to the Hertrichs, this Franconian biodiversity is threatened terrain and must be protected. The hostile takeover of industrial breweries is described by the Hertrichs as mass beer conservation and is to be fought with excellent beer.

Under the VETO label, the Hertrichs brew beers of outstanding quality and taste, such as their Hopfentiger or Schokobär, and defy mass beer farming with class instead of mass. Only the best regional ingredients go into their beers, which all have creative animal names like Zwickelhahn or Orangenfalter, and behind every creation is a long creative process from the first attempt to the perfect brew. The Hertrichs burn for their beer and with their fabulous beers are worthy opponents for large breweries and mass beer producers.
