HopXL uses a patented hydrocarbon extraction process developed from 40+ years of botanical extraction expertise. Both our solvent and our solubilizer are FDA approved for use in consumer beverages.
Our process uses a non-polar liquified gas that doesn't react with plant components in the water phase. This preserves the compounds contributing to the hop's essence while removing waste that creates problems in traditional hopping.
We source from quality growers known for outstanding crops. Any variety. Any crop year. We can also process your existing hop inventory to preserve its unique profile.
Our patented closed-loop system uses liquified gas at conditions that mimic the natural environment where plants mature. Low temperature preserves volatile compounds that kilning destroys.
The extracted compounds are formulated into a water-soluble concentrate using our FDA-approved solubilizer. This is the step no other hop extract company has solved.
Every batch is variety-specific, analytically tested, and shelf-stable for 2+ years. Crystal clear in water. No shaking required. Just one drop changes everything.
Supercritical CO2 is the industry standard — but it produces oil-based concentrates that resist water, strip out delicate terpenes, and leave behind the polyphenols and beta acids that contribute to mouthfeel and complexity.
Our extraction occurs at temperatures that preserve volatile monoterpenes — the bright citrus, floral, and tropical compounds that kilning and CO2 processing destroy.
98% of hop compounds preserved — including polyphenols for haze stability, beta acids for balanced bitterness, xanthohumol, and the complete terpene profile. Not just alpha acids and oils.
Unlike CO2 extracts that require post-processing to become "dispersible," our compounds are water-soluble at the point of extraction. The solubility isn't engineered after — it's built in.
Both our extraction solvent and our solubilizer are FDA approved for use in consumer beverages. No solvents remain in the finished product. Safe, clean, and fully compliant.
It came from botanical extraction — where hydrocarbon closed-loop systems, terpene preservation, full-spectrum capture, and water-soluble delivery were solved years ago.
HopXL's founding team brings 40+ years of combined experience in botanical extraction science. Same plant family. Same compounds. Same chemistry. We applied technology that was a decade ahead of the hop industry.
That's why we think about hops differently. And that's why every major hop company is now racing to build what we already have.
Our innovative extraction process and water-soluble formulation technology are protected by our patent filing. We aim to revolutionize the hops industry and cater to the needs of breweries across the United States and internationally.
