Alpha Acid 4.5 - 5.5%Originally grown in Kent and Surrey, the majority of Goldings are now produced in Worcestershire. The beautiful, flowery Goldings aroma is highly prized by brewers, but supplies are becoming harder to obtain due to poor yields and low resistance to disease.

Alpha 4.0 - 4.5%Once the mainstay of British hop production, the Fuggle is commanding less and less acreage as each year passes. Although British grown Fuggles are available, our experience has shown that those grown in Oregon on the West Coast of America are far superior. Fuggles are used extensively in Bitters and Pale Ales but are unsurpassed for flavouring the darker British styles. People who bought this item also bought:

Alpha Acid 5.0 - 6.0%This year we are again fortunate to be able to offer East Kent Goldings to the trade. Although they have a lower alpha acid content than last year's crop, the quality is high. Use these for your best Pale Ales and Bitters.People who bought this item also bought:

Alpha Acid 6.5 - 7.5%Originally developed as a Goldings replacement, Challenger is a very versatile variety. Many brewers have found that excellent beers can be brewed from Challenger alone. It has fine bittering properties and a respectable aroma. More commonly, though, it is combined with a dedicated aroma variety. Challenger is gradually commanding less and less acreage these days as it gives way to more disease resistant varieties, such as the dwarf, Pioneer. People who bought this item also bought:

Alpha Acid 5.0 - 6.0%Very popular in Germany as a 'copper hop', its bitterness is highly suited to Lager beers as it shows no sign of harshness. Brewers Gold hops are at their best when used in conjunction with 'noble varieties' such as Tettnang and Hallertauer Mittelfrüh. People who bought this item also bought:

Alpha Acid 6.0 - 6.5%Due to the somewhat abnormal levels of some of the essential oils, Cascade has an aroma which is all its own. It is very popular among the new breed of American microbrewers and the Cascade 'nose' is immediately evident in their beers. This variety is now being introduced into some English micro brewed beers with good effect. People who bought this item also bought:

Alpha Acid 6.5 - 7.5%First Gold is a very fine aroma hop reminiscent of the Golding. It is a seedling of WGV and has been bred to grow to a height of just 2 to 3 metres to aid harvesting. Its delicately spicy aroma renders it particularly suitable for late and dry hopping. The fairly high alpha acid content makes for economy in the boil. First Gold is certain to gain popularity with brewers and farmers alike. People who bought this item also bought:

Alpha Acid 3.5 - 4.5%Grown in the Hersbruck district of the Hallertau, the largest hop-growing region in the world, this is the classic 'Lager hop'.

Alpha Acid 5.0 - 5.5%Hallertauer Mittelfrüh (Middle Early) is arguably the world's finest aroma hop. Brupaks is proud to be able to offer this variety to the home brew trade for the second time this year. Much of the production is shipped to the USA where it is used in the production of the multi-award winning Samuel Adams beers. The remainder is used primarily in premium quality Pilsners.

Alpha Acid 8.5 - 9.5%Northdown is a seedling of Northern Brewer, which is no longer grown in Britain. It retains much of its parent's fine bittering properties but has a much-improved aroma. Although Northdown can be used on its own to good effect, especially in darker styles of beer, it is the ideal accompaniment to aroma hops such as Fuggles or Progress. It is particularly suited to Irish Stout. People who bought this item also bought:

Alpha Acid 10.0 - 11.0%Although originally developed in Britain, Northern Brewer is now grown almost exclusively in Germany. It is very versatile in that it can be used to provide bitterness in both Ales and Lagers. Its low aroma requires it to be used with other, more flavourful hops for the best result.

Alpha Acid 7.5 - 8.5%Although generally regarded as an aroma hop, the moderately high alpha acid content of this variety will find more brewers employing Perle in the copper. Its high resistance to disease has made it a favourite with German farmers. Perle is now grown all over southern Germany and is suitable for all types of lager beers.

Alpha Acid 5.0 - 6.0%Originally grown as a Fuggles replacement, Progress is a very versatile hop that combines fine aroma properties with a respectable alpha acid content.

Alpha Acid 3.0 - 3.5%The classic Pilsner hop from the Czech Republic used in many of the world's finest beers, including the exceptional Pilsner Urquell. It's beautiful aroma and delicate bitterness make it suitable for many styles.

Due the sortage of hops these maybe replaced with Bobek hops when we run out of styriansAlpha Acid 4.5 - 5.0%After their indigenous varieties were exterminated by powdery mildew in 1930, the Yugoslavians imported Fuggles from England, probably under the name 'Fuggles Goldings' as at that time Fuggles were considered to be inferior to Goldings. Since then they have been known as Styrian Goldings. Although essentially Fuggles, they have a beautiful perfumey aroma which lends itself to both Continental Lagers and the less malty English ales. Many English brewers use these for late and dry hopping Bitters.
Ref: 100292
Alpha Acid 10.0 - 11.0%Target is by far the most widely grown variety in Britain due to its heavy cropping, excellent resistance to disease and high alpha acid content. It now takes up almost a third of the total acreage although this is sure to decrease as the new dwarf varieties become more popular. Although recognised by some brewers as an aroma hop, Target is at its best when used in the copper for the production of beers with a low bitterness. Commercially, Target is used extensively in keg beers for economical reasons. Its powerful flavour would be overwhelming in more assertive brews. Used with discretion in combination with fine aroma hops, however, excellent Bitters and Pale Ales can be produced. People who bought this item also bought:

Whitbread Golding VarietyAlpha Acid 7.0 - 8.0%Originally bred by Whitbread's Brewery, this variety displays both Goldings and Fuggles characteristics.
