Ahtanum® is named for the location where Charles Carpenter established the first hop farm in the Yakima Valley in 1869. It is the first commercially available bred hop by Yakima Chief Ranches. Used primarily as an aroma hop due to low alpha acid composition.
Anchovy, originally named 24B-05, was bred at Segal Ranch in the Yakima Valley, Washington. The odd name was coined by Fast Fashion Brewing in Seattle, Washington, after being the first to use the hop commercially. Possibly released in 2022.
Atlas is a bred by the Hop Research Institute in Zalec, Slovenia, Yugoslavia (Dr. Tone Wagner) and released in the 1970s. It is a cross between Brewer's Gold (female) and a Yugoslavian male (3/3M). Together with Aurora, Ahil, and Apolon was considered to be Super Styrian hops when released. This meant they were similar to Syrian (Fuggle) but had a higher alpha content. But, in fact, it is bread from Brewer's Gold, making the classification mute.
Bitter Gold was released in 1999 and has lineage linked to Brewer's Gold, Bullion, Comet and Fuggle. Higher alpha acids than any of its parents as well as when compared to Galena or Nugget, which are considered close substitutes. Mild profile when used as a bittering addition but shines in later additions, delivering stone and tropic fruit flavors.
Released by the United States Department of Agriculture breeding program in 1985, Chinook is considered by the some the fourth member of the Three C's: Cascade, Centennial, and Columbus / Tomahawk / Zeus (CTZ). With no trademark, Chinook is a great candidate to grow at home.
Dr. Rudi was bred by HortResearch as a an open pollination of Smoothcone. Released in 1976. A true definition of a dual use as it has smoother bitterness and good aroma qualities. Originally named Super Alpha but renamed in 2012 in honor of the "father of New Zealand hops", Dr. Rudi Roborgh. There isn't a direct substitute.
Eclipse® was bred by Hop Products Australia to have high alpha acids as well as aromatic complexity. Although a dual threat, aroma and bittering, Eclipse shines in late hop additions: boil, whirlpool and dry hopping. Pedigree of high alpha Australian and North American hops.
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.
HS Grove™ was added to the BSG Hop Solutions Program in 2023. Designed to work with hop-forward beers, it shines in whirlpool and dry hopping.
McKenzie™ is the first hop variety released by the West Coast Hop Breeding Company. It took five years of breeding before the hop was released. Named after a river the breeder for West Coast Hop Breeding Company grew up fishing. Initially available in 2021 with acreage ramping up since. More pine, resin forward when used in the boil, post boil will bring out the fruitiness.
Moutere™ is bred from Southern Cross™ and a New Zealand male and released in 2015. Developed at New Zealands's Plant & Food Research Center. Moutere™ is a high alpha acid hop with tropical, grapefruit and passion fruit. Pronounced "Mow-terry".
Northdown was bred at Wye College in Kent, England as higher alpha acid alternative to the hops of the time (1970s). A result of breeding Northern Brewer and an unknown German varietal.
Norther Brewer (GR) is the same hop grown in England. The growing conditions in Germany make the hop slightly varied in profile.
Norther Brewer is a great bittering hop that is the base of many beer. It is a cross of a Native American varietal and Northern Brewer, the resulting hop is genetically distinct from the English parent.
Phoenix is a high alpha varietal that performs well early in the boil. Bred at Wye College in Kent, England, it is an offspring of Yeoman. A replacement to Challenger as is more resistant to disease, but could not fulfill on that promise due to low yields and slow growth. Phoenix is considered a dual hop but typically used early in the boil for its clean bittering qualities. As a late addition it tends to be disappointing as it is mellow.
Simcoe® is a very popular variety due to the profile of the hop and the smooth bitterness it creates. It plays well with other hops. Simcoe® was released through Yakima Chief Ranches in 2000. Sometimes referred to as "Cascade on steroids".
Sticklebract was bred in New Zealand, by the DSIR Research Station, to help fight Black Root Rot that had affected the hops in the 1960s. It was released in 1972. A versatile hop.
Waimea™ was bred in New Zealand by the Institute for Plant & Food Research, released to the public in 2012. It was originally bred for bittering due to the high alpha content and vigorous growth. Parentage from Saaz, Fuggle, and Californian Late Cluster. Considered to be a great dual hop due to high alpha acid and oil content. The aroma and flavor of Waimea™ are intense to add a big character to a beer.
