Behind De Schaapskooi in Schijndel lies the Hop field Schaapskooi, where the centuries-old hop growing of the region was brought back to life. In this field the hop plants grow metres high along wooden poles, until in summer they are full of hop cones: the key ingredient that gives beer its distinctive flavour.
After the harvest in September, the hops are dried in the historic hop kiln and processed by local brewers, such as Sint Servattumus and Stadsbrouwerij De Vleeghel. Visitors can enjoy a beer made with Schijndel hops at De Schaapskooi or join a hop tour with tasting.
