Our deep roots, or should we say rhizomes, in the beer world began more than 140 years ago, in the Yakima Valley, when Founder Oliver Brulotte’s family first started working in the hop industry. Oliver himself was a fifth-generation hop farmer with his family farm, A/B Hop Farms, in Prosser, WA. The farm was founded by Oliver’s parents, Ben and Tracy Brulotte, and uncle, Arnold Brulotte. If you look today, you will find that every can of Icicle beer has an A/B Hop Farms logo on it to pay homage to our past.
