Mill95 is a family-run business with agriculture roots that run five generations deep. Our founder, Jamie Scott, knew that the closer to the source, the closer you get to the hop traits that brewers and growers are looking for. Our location in southwestern Idaho was strategically chosen so that freshly harvested hops and bales don’t have to travel far and they can cool slowly. This allows us to provide affordable, accessible hop storage, processing, distribution, and most importantly, bring beer people together. As Idaho continues to be one of the leading hop growers in the country, we’re in a good place to support and build a community of craft brewers and growers for generations to come.
