Brewers Supply Group announces exclusive distribution partnership with global natural hop oil extract supplier

TNS

Totally Natural Solutions forges new partnership to bring innovative hop products to U.S. markets

 Sept. 8, 2022 – Kent based Totally Natural Solutions (TNS) announces new partnership with US distribution partner

Brewers Supply Group (BSG), a wholly owned subsidiary of Rahr Corporation.  TNS provides innovative, natural hop oil extracts, and this partnership will provide craft brewers in the U.S. access to a wide range of hop aromas and flavors exclusively through BSG.

TNS uses its patented, sustainable hop oil fractionation process to deliver clean label hop extracts to complement or replace the use of hop cones and pellets, adding aroma and flavour across a range of lager, IPA, and low-alcohol beer styles.

“Today’s craft beer consumer is a global beer drinker. By partnering with Totally Natural Solutions, BSG is following up on our commitment to bring craft brewers in North America a diversity of ingredients from around the world,” said JD Dempsey, president of BSG. “We are excited to provide our customers access to a wide range of hop products, allowing them to innovate across an enormous breadth of beer styles. We believe this is the future of hops and can’t wait to see the impact TNS brings to the craft brewing industry here in the United States.”

BSG will offer products in TNS’s HopInspiration® portfolio, which covers core hop varieties as well as new innovative solutions. Brewers who use the hop oil extracts can improve the intensity and consistency in their beer. Benefits include reducing waste, allowing the balance of bitterness, aroma and flavor to be easily corrected if needed. They also reduce inventory and simplify supply chains, ensuring availability of hop varieties.

“This is an exciting partnership agreement for us to supply our HopInspiration® portfolio throughout the United States. While we are seeing global demand for our products to deliver high-quality natural hops, the U.S. marketplace has not yet had the opportunity to access what we have to offer,” said Colin Wilson, CEO of TNS. “BSG represents a milestone in the growing credibility of our technologies and portfolio, and we are proud to continue our company’s growth through this partnership.”
