OUR STORY
The name Beepa originated from Walter Hopper's first grandchild. He could not pronounce “Grandpa” so it sounded like “Beepa” and it stuck all these years. At birth, Walter's mom and dad disagreed on his name and his brothers and sisters labeled him “Picadilly” a.k.a. "Dilly" until they decided on Walter. It was only fitting we started our business with our staple product, Beepa’s Dilly Beans and Beepa's was born! Beepa's sauces and starters are made in small batches, then stirred and poured by hand.
Walter (Beepa) Hopper of RR3 Afton Rd, Beloit Wisconsin was born May 28, 1914 to Charles O. and Jenny Lind (Baker) Hopper. He was a veteran of WWII, serving in the U.S. Army for four and a half years, two and a half served in the European Theater. Army years were in Military Police - Jeep corps.
