Elani

Elani was bred by Yakima Quality Hops, initially known as YQH-1320. Elani was available commercially for the first time in 2022.

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.

Vista

Vista is a modern aromatic marvel, officially released in 2021 as a crown jewel of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA-ARS) public breeding program in Corvallis, Oregon. Originally bred in 2006, it spent over a decade in the "Elite Line" trials, engineered to stand toe-to-toe with the most popular proprietary tropical hops on the market. Its pedigree is a fascinating blend of structural reliability and modern zest, pulling genetics from Perle, Northern Brewer, and Hallertau. What sets Vista apart is its "triple-threat" agricultural profile: it was specifically selected for massive yields, high drought tolerance, and extreme heat resistance. This makes it a sustainable hero for the future of American hop farming. As a public variety, Vista offers every brewer a world-class, high-impact aromatic profile that is accessible to all, serving as a cornerstone for the next generation of fruit-forward American craft beers.

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.
