How the hop lineage graph works

Explore curated breeding histories and genetic pedigrees sourced from our brewing hops catalog :

  • Curated breeding edges: Solid arrows point from parent to child (for example, Brewer’s Gold or Nugget in the genetic history of modern varieties where we have documented those links).
  • Pedigree depth control: Depth 1 shows direct parents and immediate offspring. Depth 2 includes grandparents and grandchildren. Depth 3 expands one more generation of lineage history.
  • Recipe substitutions: Looking for flavor or alpha acid alternatives rather than genetic relatives? Use the Hop Substitutor for recipe swaps.
  • Hop Substitutor — ranked substitutes and side-by-side flavor radar charts for recipe planning.
  • Hop catalog — full profiles, chemistry, and editorial notes per variety.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does “depth” mean on the lineage graph?
Depth counts curated breeding hops along parent and offspring links. Depth 1 shows direct parents and children. Depth 2 adds grandparents and grandchildren. Depth 3 widens the pedigree one more generation. If our data has no relatives that far out, the chart may not grow when you increase depth.
What do the lines on the graph mean?
Solid arrows are curated breeding relationships (parent to child) from hop catalog research. Node colors show catalog usage—bittering, aroma, dual-purpose, or unspecified—not pedigree role. Flavor similarity is not drawn on this chart; use the Hop Substitutor for recipe swaps.
What is the difference between hop lineage and hop substitution?
Hop lineage tracks biological breeding history: parentage and offspring. Hop substitutes are chosen from shared alpha acids, oil profiles, and aroma, even when two varieties have completely different genetics. Lineage answers who bred whom; the substitutor answers what might replace a hop in a recipe.
Why do some popular hops have unknown parents?
Many proprietary or open-pollinated varieties involve wild American male hops or unrecorded open pollination in test yards, so exact parentage is unpublished or impossible to document. We only draw an edge when a public breeding summary maps to hops in our catalog.
Why is my favorite hop missing from the tree?
We are growing a curated set of breeding edges. A hop with no parent or child rows yet will not appear in a family tree until we add those links. You can still open its profile or use the Hop Substitutor for chemical and sensory matches.
How is this related to the Hop Substitutor?
Lineage is pedigree. The substitutor ranks swap candidates from chemistry and radar charts. Each tool links to the other when you need family history versus a recipe alternative.
