Magnum

Magnum was originally bred at the German Hop Research Institute in Hüll, Germany, it was released commercially in 1980 and is child of Galena and German male 75/5/3. Magnum is considered one of the smoothest and cleanest bittering hops available.

Magnum (US)

Magnum (US) is grown in much lower acreage than in Germany, but, like it's German counterpart, is a great bittering hop.

Millennium

Millennium was released in the year 2000, thus the name, as a high alpha breed. A Nugget descendant that carries similar characteristics, as well as to Columbus, bred for its disease resistance. Mainly used for bittering but gaining interest as an aroma hop as well.

Neoplanta

Neoplanta was bred at the Institute for Agricultural Research in Yugoslavia in the late 1960s or early 1970s, possibly by Mr. Andrej Mijavec (the hop breeder at the time). It is a cross from Northern Brewer and a male that originated from Styrian Golding and a Yugoslavian wild hop. Has not been accepted well, therefore acreage is limited. Originally developed to replace Backa and a sister to both Dunav and Vojvodina.

Newport

Newport was bred by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), in 1994, to find a mildew resistant replacement for Galena. Parentage of Magnum and USDA 58111M, finally commercially released in 2002. USDA 5811M pedigree of Magnum, Brewer's Gold, Late Grape, Belgium #31, Fuggle and unknown variety.

Toyomidori has parentage of Northern Brewer and USDA 64103M (a wild American hop), bred in 1981 in Japan and released in 1990 by the Kirin Brewery Hop Research Farm. Based on profile, a great bittering hop. Due to Toyomidori being susceptible to downy mildew it has been commercially discontinued from production in Japan.

Warrior®

Warrior® is a high alpha variety with a ridiculously smooth bitterness. Developed by Yakima Chief Ranches, arising from the same program that created Simcoe®.

Did you know?
  • Dwarf variety hops grow shorter in height than traditional varieties but, importantly, produce the same yield. This combination makes harvest easier.
Explanations
  • Storage: is based on the percentage of alpha acids remaining after 6 months at 20*F.
  • Oil composition percetages are based on the total percentage of oil in the hop. Example: 10 - 20% means that for the specific oil it is 10 - 20% of the overall oil make up.
