Green Bullet™

Green Bullet™ was bred by the New Zealand Hop Research Committee to be resistant to Black Root Rot disease, a disease that decimated hops in the 1940s in New Zealand. Released for commercial use in 1972, Green Bullet™ was originally known as Brand 65-3-82. Acreage is on a decline over the past 10 years. Bred from an open pollination Smoothcone to have high alpha acid. This has enabled the hop to be used for bittering in lagers. It also has a "traditional" spicy character.

The Bruce

The Bruce is a powerhouse aromatic blend born from the sun-drenched gardens of Freestyle Hops in New Zealand. This proprietary "mixtape" was crafted as a tribute to Bruce Eggers, a legendary Sunrise Valley hop farmer known for his immense knowledge and generous spirit. Rather than relying on a single plant, The Bruce is a meticulous combination of Nelson Sauvin™, early-season Motueka™, late-season Pacifica™, and mid-season Pacific Jade™. By utilizing hops harvested at different points throughout the season, Freestyle Hops has created a blend that offers a more complete chemical profile than any single variety. It is specifically engineered to maximize free thiols and "survivable" oils—the compounds that survive the boil and thrive during fermentation. For brewers, it provides a consistent, high-impact "Best of NZ" experience that removes the year-to-year variability of single-farm cultivars.

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 percentages 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.
