In this thesis, "The Evaluation of the Quality of Hops from Traditional and Non-traditional Growing Areas", the quality of three varieties of hop seed cones (Saaz, Sladek and Kazbek) from a non-traditional hop-growing region was analyzed and the data used for comparison. The primary aim of the study was to determine if there is a possibility of growing quality hops in a region that is not considered a hop-growing region. The hops that were tested were harvested in 2015 from a private hopfield located in Obora near Tábor. This hopfield is owned and managed by Ing. Martin Novák. Mechanical and chemical analysis was carried out on samples from Obora. The main goal of the analysis was to determine the alpha and beta acid content of the hop seed cones harvested there. Samples were analyzed with EBC 7.7 (HPLC). Alpha acid content of the tested samples in Saaz hops was 4.06 % w/w, in Sladek 7.14 % w/w and in Kazbek 4.67 % w/w. The content of beta acids in Saaz hops was 3.16 % w/w, in Sladek 3.93 % w/w and in Kazbek 4.51 % w/w. The collected data was then compared to published data for hops grown in traditional hop-growing regions. Alpha acid content was found to be higher in the hops grown in Obora, while beta acid content was lower.
