Pioneers of Hops Quality hops from the Hallertau
100% grower-owned IGN – Quality hops
directly from our growers
IGN (Interessengemeinschaft Qualitätshopfen Niederlauterbach) is an association representing more than 100 hop growers in the Hallertau. We work together to set quality standards and produce hops for the best beers in the world.
About IGN
Why choose IGN? For a sustainable & responsible hop trade
100% Quality
We strive to offer the best hops in the world. That's why we carefully monitor the quality of our products, both during cultivation and processing. Our hop growers, for example, are rewarded with a 100% bonus* for a particularly high-quality product.
* Quality assessments are performed by an independent third party
Growing Together
Hops are distinctly unique. They shape the Hallertau region, its people, and are the soul of beer. We are firmly convinced that fair cooperation, sustainable hop cultivation, and assuming responsibility for future generations is the right approach to preserve this going forward.
Pioneers of Hops
We see ourselves as pioneers and drivers of a sustainable, responsible, and fair hop trade in the Hallertau region – this is the basis on which we were founded, and we remain committed to it to this day.

The IGN Association
Behind IGN is the IGN Association, a community of more than 100 hop growers from one of the largest hop-growing regions in the world. The association regularly organizes continuing education courses, Stammtische (regulars’ tables), and discussion groups on topics related to hop cultivation, some of which are also open to non-members.
