Pryor Gap Hops

Pryor Gap Ag LLC is producing a variety of locally grown hops under the Pryor Gap Hops name. In 2023, the company was selling four varieties of hops to microbreweries in the Bighorn Basin and Sheridan, and has plans to expand production so it can meet the needs (both volume and variety) of current and potential customers in Wyoming and beyond. In addition to selling hops to microbreweries, the company hopes to establish a market for homeowners.
