Ontario Craft brewing industry has grown rapidly over the last 20 years, and now includes over 240 independent craft breweries, operating in more than 110 communities across Ontario. The sector has now achieved a 7.6% market share and contributes approximately one billion dollars towards the provincial economy. Currently 95% of hops used by Ontario craft brewers are imported, mainly from the United States. Most of the relevant knowledge about Ontario hops terroir in beer has been lost over time. In current proposal Ontario Craft Brewers Association is collaborating with Durham College to develop an understanding of Ontario Hops Terroir and disseminate the findings amongst its member breweries. This will help the brewers understand the unique taste profiles of local hops. They will start modifying recipes to create truly distinctive beers that will increase the market share of Ontario grown hops. The new knowledge and understanding that this project will develop, will show Ontario and Canadian craft brewers how use local hops to create truly distinctive, flavourful beers, increase demand for local beers, and help local growers develop reliable markets for their produce, thereby offsetting imports that currently dominate the industry.

安大略省精酿啤酒行业在过去20年中发展迅速，目前拥有240多家独立精酿啤酒厂，在安大略省110多个社区运营。该部门目前已获得7.6%的市场份额，为该省经济贡献了约10亿美元。目前，安大略省手工酿酒商使用的啤酒花有95%是进口的，主要来自美国。随着时间的推移，关于安大略省啤酒花在啤酒中的地形的大部分相关知识已经丢失。在目前的提案中，安大略省工艺酿酒商协会正在与达勒姆学院合作，以加深对安大略省啤酒花地块的了解，并在其成员酿酒厂中传播调查结果。这将帮助酿酒商了解当地啤酒花的独特口味。他们将开始修改配方，创造出真正独特的啤酒，这将增加安大略省种植啤酒花的市场份额。该项目将发展的新知识和理解，将向安大略省和加拿大精酿啤酒酿造商展示如何使用当地啤酒花来酿造真正独特、美味的啤酒，增加对当地啤酒的需求，并帮助当地种植者为他们的产品开发可靠的市场，从而抵消目前主导行业的进口。
