Breeding Native Plants and Missouri Hops for Craft Brewers
At ArchGen, we are Innovators in the breeding and cultivation of native plants, dedicated to enhancing the diversity and quality of hops for craft brewers and growers. Our mission is to produce innovative, resilient, and flavor-rich hop varieties that reflect the unique conditions of the Midwest.
Led by PhD geneticists with extensive expertise in plant breeding. We utilize traditional time tested research and advanced breeding techniques to develop cultivars tailored to thrive in local climates while offering unique brewing characteristics.
Our work is supported by collaborations with the USDA and the Missouri Department of Agriculture, providing us with valuable resources and scientific backing to bring hop production to the midwest. Through these partnerships, we are able to conduct research into sustainable farming practices, pest resistance, and disease resilience, ensuring that Midwest hops are not only productive but also environmentally friendly.
