Hops & Handlebars unites the Sacramento community to spread awareness and provide resources on prostate cancer prevention, treatment, and support. Prostate cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers among males but if detected early it is nearly 100% treatable. Our goal is simple: live in a world with ZERO prostate cancer.

Selectively bred by plant researcher Todd Bates from wild hops discovered in New Mexico and named after counterculture icon Frank Zappa, the neomexicanus variety known as Zappa was first commercially grown in 2015 by CLS Farms in collaboration with the Zappa family. The list of characteristics Zappa is said to impart is as unique as the musician for whom it was named, ranging from passion fruit and mint to impulsive and purple.
