might be the alcoholic beverage everyone has been talking about in 2019, but that doesn't mean beer is completely down and out. In fact, hop farmers are still seeing eye-popping numbers: For the third year in a row, U.S. hop production has a set a new record., Idaho, and Oregon—which, in that order, are America's three largest hop producing states—2019's hop total is 112 million pounds, up 5 percent from last year according to the National Hop Report released this week by the USDA.
The fact that hop production continues to grow at a time when overall beer consumption has been flagging might seem like a bad omen, but these numbers don't directly correlate for a reason. Yes, many of America's largest lager brand, but the craft beer trade group the Brewers Association recently reported that craft beer still saw about 4 percent growth in 2019 and the number of small breweries has also continued to increase and break records.
The production numbers for Citra hops back this up. Only introduced back in 2007, Citra hops were once a novelty for IPAs. But this year,from Cascade as America's most-produced hop. Citra's growth helps demonstrate how changing tastes—specifically, continued demand for hoppy IPAs—are reflected in the supply.
