How did the history of Yumen hops come about

China is one of the origins of wild hops, which are concentrated in the provinces of Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia, Xinjiang, and Yunnan, with Yumen among them. The artificial cultivation of Chinese hops began in 1921 and was planted in a hop field on a slope in Heilongjiang Province. The cultivation of hops in China from 1921 to 1949 was only experimental in nature. In 1949, with the rise of New China, the beer industry also ushered in a spring of development. As the soul of beer, hops have also begun to be widely planted

From 1991 to 2006, during the period of development adjustment, with the gradual deepening of the market economy, the development of domestic hops gradually adjusted the planting area according to changes in market demand. Ningxia and Inner Mongolia hops have withdrawn from the competition, while the domestic hops from Xinjiang and Gansu are competing. In 2005, the area of hops in Gansu exceeded that of Xinjiang, ranking first in China. In 2006, the total area of hops in China was 62000 mu, with a yield of 11000 tons. Gansu covers an area of 37000 acres and produces 5800 tons. Meanwhile, during these 15 years, the domestic hop processing method has completed the process of compressing hop granules hop paste and deep processing products
