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.
Meridian® is grown in the Willamette Valley, processed by Indie Hops Flavor Project, and had more wide release in 2015. The hop was propagated accidentally when found mixed in with USDA Columbia. Meridian pairs well with other hops in that it brings out and accents the profile of those hops.
