CONTRACT BREWING WITH THE BEST – DORCHESTER BREWING & YAKIMA CHIEF HOPS

At Dorchester Brewing Co., we make the highest quality product at the best value/price for all of our contract brewing partners – a mission we share with our friends at Yakima Chief Hops. Together in 2023 – through an industry-first partnership – we’re offering access to the highest quality hops and steep production discounts to support the craft beer community in an increasingly margin-pressured industry.

We’re coming together to help small and growing craft breweries succeed by producing the highest quality beer at the best price – guaranteed.

HIGHEST QUALITY, BEST PRICING – GUARANTEED

Times are tough – and margins are increasingly tight. This partnership is designed to help craft breweries compete in a margin-pressured environment by jointly offering production discounts and access to the best in YCH hops. We maximize quality while delivering efficiencies in ordering, pricing, and facility infrastructure, helping craft breweries sustainably deliver for drinkers, and saving breweries up to 40% on production costs.

YCH hops coupled with the experienced and dedicated team at Dorchester Brewing delivers best-in-class quality and the best production pricing – guaranteed.

Through this partnership, DBco & YCH are jointly offering new customer discounts of $150 off 30bbl, $400 off 60bbl and $1000 discounts off 120bbl production amounts through 2023

SUPPORT CRAFT, SUPPORT QUALITY

This partnership gives small and growing craft breweries access to the highest quality hops and production and raw materials discounts with the goal of supporting the craft beer community. Exclusive cost-plus pricing on hops and the benefits of economies of scale on other ingredients (e.g. high quality, Rahr silo 2-Row), combined with steep production discounts means that breweries can increase their margin to support their business.

In order to level the playing field with bigger producers, this new partnership gives craft breweries access to raw materials at lower prices and also to Dorchester Brewing Company’s state of the art facility, including QA/QC and lab programs. Through increased yield and lower raw material pricing, small and growing breweries can now appreciate margins similar to much larger breweries.
