The history of hop farming in Korea began with beer. Hops, which began to be cultivated in North Korea in the early 20th century, were also cultivated in South Korea at the end of Korea War 6.25. and in the 1980s, hop business hit the production record of 460 tons on dry basis. However, hops rapidly disappeared from this land due to complex reasons such as the industrial background of the 1990s and the weakness of saving of labor, and then domestic beer became entirely dependent on imported hops.

Korea has become a developed country through rapid economic growth. Could it be that we lost something precious while fast growing period of economy? I would like to talk about the hope of Korean agriculture, not just one crop, Hop. Hopeden, we, will inherit the baton of the Korean hop farming discontinued.

Turmbräu is born in Mühldorf, located east of Munich, Bavaria, Germany. It has been run by the Grätz family since 1907, when a great unity of local breweries large and small in the suburbs of Munich took place. However, in 1943, when Max Grätz, who had served in World War II, disappeared, the seat of the official heir to the family became vacant. Although the brewery has ceased to exist, the Graz family with a valuable family brand has maintained the brewery and brand.

Andreas, the 6th-generation descendant of Grätz family who always regretted the fact that the Tombroy, representing a region, was cut off and exists only as a memory to many people. Owing to his relationship with Korea, he is continuing the Turmbräu brewery in Busan, a trendy city for craft beer in Korea since Fall 2021.
