Admiral hops was released for commercial use in 1996 (other sources have it as 1998). It was created from a male Challenger plant and female plant in the Northdown family. It is the first UK hop to have an alpha acid over 15.0%. Works well as a replacement for bittering and aroma.
Archer® was bred in the United Kingdom by the Charles Faram Ltd as part of their Charles Faram Hop Development Programme. The aroma is considered unique as it is a mix of class British and citrus. Archer® is a seedling of Sovereign and was planted along with Minstrel®. Released in 2013. A strong grower that needs to be held back in spring to promote bine growth.
Developed and bred at Wye College by Professor Salmon, Bramling Cross is a cross between Bramling and Manitoban (a wild Canadian hop). It was released in 1951. Referred to as an English hop with an American aroma. Large quantities brings out the fruitiness in the Bramling Cross.
Density was bred at Wye College under Dr. Neve from a cross between a New Mexico wild female hop, Eastwell Golding, and various other old English hops. No longer grown commercially due to low yield and alpha acids.
Early Prolific has an unknown breeding. It is assumed that it was from a mass selection at Wye College, England. May be useful for breeding of aroma hops but no longer grown commercially due to poor growth and yield (similar to Early Promise in this regard).
Early Promise has an unknown breeding. It is assumed that it was from a mass selection at Wye College, England. May be useful for breeding of aroma hops but no longer grown commercially due to poor growth and yield (similar to Early Prolific in this regard).
Godiva™ was developed by Charles Faram Ltd and it an aroma hop. A smooth bitterness does make it good as an early kettle addition too. Selected for yield, disease resistance and aroma, Godiva™ is a daughter of Jester™.
Harlequin™ was bred at Charles Faram in the United Kingdom, it has pedigree from Godiva™. Released commercially in 2019, Harlequin is similar to Mosaic®.
Jester™ was developed by Charles Faram, released in 2013 after originally being planted in 2009 along with Olicana®, its sister. With breeding from Cascade it may be used for bittering and aroma purposes. Optimally needs warm spring weather to produce best characteristics.
Minstrel® was bred at Charles Faram in the United Kingdom, it has pedigree from Sovereign, dwarf and was planted in 2006, commercially released in 2012. As of 2020, Charles Faram stopped growing commercially due to challenges with its agronomy.
Mystic™ was bred at Charles Faram and is a daughter of Jester™. Commercially released in 2017, Mystic was selected for its aroma, disease resistance, and yield.
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.
Developed and bred at Wye College, Northern Brewer was released in 1934. Of Brewer's Gold and East Kent Golding lineage, in spite of originally being an English hop, it is now mostly grown in Germany and the United States.
Olicana® was bred by Charles Faram and has more vigor than its sister Jester™. Released in 2014, it was initially planted alongside Jester™ in 2009. Currently grown commercially by Townend Farm and Stocks Farm, Worcestershire, it was selected due to a higher tolerance to Powdery Mildew than Challenger.
Opus™ is a sister of Emperor® and, itself, is an experimental varietal from the United Kingdom by Charles Faram. Initially bred in 2013 and released in 2016. Late addition hop.
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.
Bred at Wye College in Kent, England, with parents of First Gold and Herald. Pilgrim was released commercially in 2001. It is one of the most wilt resistant hops out today.
Bred at Wye College in Kent, England in 1984, released commercially in 1996. Pioneer is a dual purpose hop.
Pride of Kent was bred from Brewer's Gold and open pollination at Wye College, England by Professor E.S. Salmon. Mother of the popular Australian hop Pride of Ringwood.
Another hop developed by the United Kingdom's Wye College by the Horticulture Research International, Progress was created to replace Fuggle. Less susceptible to Wilt disease (the issue with Fuggle), Progress proved to be susceptible to other diseases. Bred in 1951 from Whitebread Golding female and US male. Commercially released in 1964.
Sunshine is an open pollination hop that has a complicated breeding process by Professor E.R. Salmon at Wye College, England, during the 1920s or early 1930s, which may have included some wild American varietals. Sunshine and open pollination breeding made it the mother of Comet.
Target was bred in the 70s, released to the public in 1972 by Wye College. The hop has lineage of Northern Brewer and Eastwell Goldings. It is a cousin to Challenger, but more assertive. It has become a widely grown hop. Typically used to add aroma to English ale and lagers.
Tolhurst was bred by James Tolhurst of Horsmonden, England in the 1880s. No longer grown commercially, it has a high farnesene content but has low yields, poor storage and growth.
Whitebread Golding, a sturdier version of Goldings which is popular in England. First bred in 1911, Whitebread Golding was finally released to the public in 1953. Named for the brewery that owned the farm in which it was developed.
