About Farsons Green Hop IPA
Green Hop IPA is Farsons' entry in the India pale ale category, part of the Farsons Classic Brews range. The company reports it on an upward trajectory after a relatively recent launch on draught and in 50cl cans, and says a four-pack of 50cl cans introduced during the year to January 2026 improved its availability in Maltese supermarkets, where take-home consumption has been growing at the expense of pubs and bars.

About the owner: Farsons
Farsons is a publicly listed company headquartered in Birkirkara, Malta, founded in 1928. Brandtree records 10 brands under its control, and it is listed as MSE: SFC.
Farsons is Malta's brewer and soft drinks bottler, and traces its origins to 1928, when L. Farrugia & Sons built a brewery in Hamrun and launched Farsons Pale Ale on 19 April. It merged with the British brewer H & G Simonds a year later and with the Malta Export Brewery, makers of Cisk, in 1948, which gave the company the three-part name it still carries. It was the first private-sector company to list on the Malta Stock Exchange, in 1995. In the year to 31 January 2026 it spun off its food business — Quintano Foods and the Maltese Pizza Hut, Burger King and KFC franchises — as Quinco Holdings p.l.c., distributed to its own shareholders as a dividend in kind and separately listed in October 2025, which the company describes as returning it to its original roots as a brewer, bottler and importer of beverages. Turnover from continuing operations was €106.5 million.
