Yops® Wins Brassinov Prize – Supporting Brewers with Innovative Solutions
We’re pleased to share that Yops® won a Brassinov Competition Innovation Award during Salon du Brasseur in Nancy, France. The objective of the Brassinov Competition, presented by the French Brewery Museum, was to award the most remarkable innovations presented at the show – Innovations that responded to the economic, societal, and environmental challenges of the beer industry.
Developed by Evodia, a Danish start-up, Yops® is a natural aroma solution designed to help brewers boost the beer flavor profile, including low- and no-alcohol beers, while reducing beer loss, improving yield, and enhancing consistency.
What is Yops®?
Yops® is a range of natural terpene blends developed through yeast fermentation. These hop-inspired aromas are available in a ready-to-dose format. Developed to offer brewers a consistent, easy-to-use natural flavoring option, Yops® is perfect for low- and no- alcohol and hop forward beer recipes.
Yops® is available in six flavors:
- Floral F2: Velvet sensation of fruity apricot mingled with sweetness of flower honey.
- Floral F3: Juicy and sweet floral with a refreshing squeeze of lemon.
- Floral F4: Floral and lemon freshness with a fruity body.
- Citrus C1: A citrusy note, both juice and zest. For a refreshing profile.
- Fruity FR1: Sweet fruit, grapes juiciness and freshness.
- Hoppy H2: Hoppy flavor with a fresh zesty facet, mango skin topped with floral notes.
How Yops® Helps Brewers
Yops® was created with brewers’ day-to-day needs in mind. Here are some of the key benefits:
- Flavor Consistency – Yops® is free from seasonal variation, helping brewers maintain a stable aroma profile across batches with no off-flavors.
- Ease of Use – The product is easy to dose, store, and integrate into existing brewing processes—no need for special equipment or adjustments.
- Reduced Beer Loss – Unlike dry hops, Yops® contains no vegetal matter, helping brewers reduce beer loss and improve yield.
- Improved Shelf Life – Trials show that beers made with Yops® can maintain greater aroma stability over time.
What Brewers Are Saying
It’s just like using terpene or flavour extracts. No extra hassle, just dose in the tank and the Yops® speak for themselves.
Brewing a great non-alcoholic beer is all about capturing that elusive "beeriness”, and Yops® has truly helped us get there... It's been a game changer for us
