A link between hop growers and brewers

Don’t complain! Do something! Against this backdrop, the organization known as Interessengemeinschaft Qualitätshopfen Niederlauterbach (Niederlauterbach Interest Group for Quality Hops), or IGN for short, was founded almost 30 years ago. This group of 18 active hop growers came together to turn an idea into an institution, and it is now a vital part of the industry today. We met with Mario Scholz, Managing Director of IGN, in Niederlauterbach, Germany over a beer – with plenty of hops.
