Alora™ Hops - Pellets (USA)
Introducing Alora™, a new aroma hop variety from the Hopsteiner Breeding Program formerly known as HS17701. Alora™ is best known for her unique oil composition. Alora™ contains over 50% of unidentified total oil uncommon in hop chemistry, Selinene, a sesquiterpene rarely found in hops. This rare chemical trait found in Alora™ contributes to its unique flavor/aroma composition. Selinene is a low volatility compound that imparts distinct citrus character directly into finished beer and can be found in fruits such as Calamondin Oranges and Yuzu Fruit. In addition to Alora’s™ unique oil composition is the elevated amount of thiol precursors, or more specifically, bound 3MH thiols found in Alora™. 3MH thiols are desired for their aroma/flavor contribution into finished beer. 3MH thiols are responsible for tropical fruit, passion fruit, and citrusy aroma/flavor. Alora™ contains 5X the amount of 3MH precursor thiols than that of Cascade (amount may vary from crop year to crop year).
Alora boasts a tantalizing blend of peach, apricot, sweet melon and yuzu fruit. It’s perfect for a wide range of beer styles, from IPAs to light lagers.

Ariana Hops - Pellets (Germany)
Ariana is a new hop variety from Germany, and it's definitely not typically German! It shows aromas and flavours of black berries, blackcurrant, peach, pear, tropical fruits and resinous. Sounds to us like a great hop to try in your next hop forward beer. Try pairing it with some big new world hops (Citra/Mosaic etc) to increase flavour depth.
AA is usually around 9-13%.

Azacca Hops Pellets (US)
Azacca is another great contender for your latest hazy tropical IPA. Grown in the US, this hop has tropical fruit aromas with a touch of citrus, and on the palate you get spicy, with pineapple, mango and some pine and tangerine. What's not to like?
Azacca comes with fairly high alpha acids of typically 14-16% AA and therefore is great for bittering and flavour/aroma additions including dry hopping.

Cascade (US) Hops - Pellets
Cascade is a variety of hop developed in the USDA breeding program at Oregon State University and released as an American aroma variety in 1971. It originated from an open seed collection in 1956, including English Fuggle, Russian Serebrianker, and an unspecified male hop variety.[2] In addition to appealing flavor qualities, researchers were looking for resistance to downy mildew, a threat to hop farms. Cascade was named after the Cascade mountain range that runs through the states of Washington, Oregon and the Canadian province of British Columbia. The hop variety was first used commercially in 1976 by the New Albion Brewing Company, which established it as a signature hop for American pale ale.

Centennial Hops - Pellets (US)
Centennial is an aroma-type cultivar, bred in 1974 and released in 1990. The genetic composition is 3/4 Brewers Gold, 3/32 Fuggle, 1/16 East Kent Golding, 1/32 Bavarian and 1/16 unknown.
A relatively new hop on the market, this hop used to be called CFJ90. Described by some as a "Super Cascade" and we tend to agree, but it's not nearly as "citrusy". Some even use it for aroma as well as bittering. Bitterness is quite clean and can have floral notes depending on the boil time. (alpha acid: 9.5-11.5% / beta acid: 4.0-5.0%)

East Kent Goldings Hops - Pellets (UK)
Goldings are a group of traditional and very popular English aroma hops grown prior to 1790. They are called East Kent Goldings if grown in East Kent, Kent Goldings if grown in mid-Kent, and Goldings if grown elsewhere in the U.K. There are many different named cultivars such as Amon's Early Bird, Cobbs, Bramling, Canterbury, Petham Rodmersham and in Worcestershire - Mathon. They tend to have a smooth, sweet flavour. Most types of Goldings will work in place of another (Whitbread Golding Variety for East Kent Goldings, e.g.). Note that Styrian Goldings are not of this family, but are more similar to Fuggle.
Also known as EKG.

Freestyle Kohia Nelson Hops - Pellets (NZ)
Kohia Nelson is Freestyle Hop's botanical blend which extends their love of the unique flavours of New Zealand grown crops. They have been experimenting with a process to add botanicals to hops to produce a uniform pellet that has something really unexpected to it.
Their latest version of that blend combines Nelson Sauvin and Rakau with New Zealand passionfruit. The passion fruit was sourced from a brilliant NZ restaurant supply company. Kohia Nelson requires a bit of a different (and complex) production process. The passion fruit is dried, the seeds removed and then blended with the hops prior to pelleting. The only other ingredient used to make the blend is a small amount of natural ascorbic acid (vitamin C from citrus) to prevent oxidation of the passion fruit during the pelleting process.
The internal dry hop testing has come back really positive. It is found to have a potent sweet passion fruit aroma, but (in the test West Coast IPA) a nice crisp, dry, mega-hoppy flavour. We think you will be stoked on it!

Freestyle Mega Terps Hops - Pellets (NZ)
Mega Terps - Freestyle x Phantasm Thiol Enriched Blend - 2024 Crop Year Introducing Mega Terps - the latest Thiol Enriched release from Freestyle Hops and Phantasm. Mega Terps brings together a potent blend of Thiols, Terpenes and Esters into one convenient pellet to help you dial up unique New Zealand tropical aroma in your beers.
So what's in it? Mega Terps is a custom blend of Southern Cross, Motueka and Rakau designed to provide the highest levels of supporting terpenes and esters, then combined with Phantasm's patented thiol precursors. These lots were selected for having the highest levels of linalool, geraniol, citronellol and 2MIB along with high levels of cysteine bound 3SH. Blended with full spectrum precursor rich lots of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc derived Phantasm, this is a hot side targeted addition for maximising tropical aroma intensity.
So what's the flavour profile? Lemon, lime and sweet tropical
So Why should I care? Esters, Terpenes and Thiols have come in and out of fashion, with each taking its time in the sun. The thing is, all three of these compounds are important to create attractive aromas in beer. We've worked hard to identify huge levels of these "foundation" compounds and combine them together for effective ease of use. Mega Terps is best added on the hot side, so full bio transformation of these compounds can occur with your different yeast strains, or for even further release partner with a Thiolised strain, like White Labs PurePitch® Next Generation WLP077 Tropicale Yeast
Our goal is to give you the tools for the best intensity of character in finished beer, and Mega Terps is an exciting step in that direction.
Terpenes, Esters and Thiols, now all together in a single potent pellet.

Freestyle Nelson Sauvin Hops (Bliss Process) - Pellets (NZ)
Freestyle Nelson Bliss - The latest experiment out of the Freestyle Hop Research LabDuring 2023 and 2024 Freestyle Hops conducted some Nelson Sauvin field trials , experimenting with alternative harvest and processing methods to explore what can be achieved from moving outside of traditional methods of harvesting and by being brave enough to do things a little differently. They had some really interesting results in 2023 with small trials and have done some much larger scale experiments during 2024.
This is called our "Bliss process" which has the goal of capturing as much of the tropical intensity of Nelson Sauvin as possible without losing the brighter citrus and wine-y notes from earlier harvested Nelson. This process change experiment is aimed at maximising the free thiols (sweet tropical characters) that are most prominent in a super late harvest Nelson Sauvin lot without losing some of the terpene-driven brightness which typically would happen in those types of lots. The 2024 Nelson Bliss tries to thread the needle and get the huge tropical sweetness while maintaining a balanced and brighter character.
This Nelson Sauvin lot has field aromas of Mango, Red Grapefruit, Lychee.

Freestyle's Peacharine has a rich peach/nectarine character with an appealing citrus backbone. In the background are hints of sweet fruit, lime zest and indistinct floral notes. They are still exploring the flavour/aroma spectrum of this new varietal, but their mid to late harvest lots are not likely to ever leave the lineup. Peacharine can easily captivate in a single hop beer, but also pairs well with a wide range of both thiol and terpene heavy varietals, like later harvested NZ Cascade.
Freestyle Super Sauvin Hops - Pellets (NZ)
Super Sauvin is an exciting new blend born out of a collab with thiol-related research collaborators at Phantasm where they created a thiol enriched blend of thiol precursor laden Phantasm, combined with Nelson Sauvin that has high concentrations of cysteine bound 3SH precursors, bound 3S4MP precursors and terpene alcohols.
Super Sauvin is intended for whirlpool use and/or active fermentation dry hopping with thiolized yeast strains. This blend looks like, and should be used in the same manner as, a normal T-90 hop pellet. We recommend whirlpool dosage rates from 4 g/L upwards depending on style and yeast strain. Phantasm is incorporated into the hops prior to pelleting and we’ve created a homogenous blended pellet. Super Sauvin is intended to provide a wider array of thiol precursor compounds than is available from Phantasm alone. While we aren’t yet able to test for the full array of these thiol precursors, we know that bound 3S4MP and 3SO are present in addition to the bound 3SH from Phantasm.
Super Sauvin is a further manifestation of our boundless love of the unique flavours of New Zealand and is a fun project with our close friends and thiol-related research collaborators at Phantasm. We hope you enjoy the fruits of our combined labour. As always, grown with love, full of terps and thiols!

Cost savings and net increases in revenue per batch
Cryo Hops solve multiple problems for the brewer by concentrating the flavors of the lupulin into pellets or powder. In short you can make more beer with a less hops.
And with less leaf material in the finished Cryo Hops, less beer is wasted to trub, increasing the yield.

Taiheke Hops - Pellets (NZ)
This hop's origins stem from an early US breeding program circa 1956 and was the first commercially bred hop to emerge from the USDA-ARS program when released in 1972. It was bred from crossing an English Fuggle with a male selection believed to have been a crossing of Fuggle with the Russian variety Serebrianka. The NZ-grown version is now known as Taiheke® after being referred to as NZ Cascade.

Talus Hops - Pellets (US)
Talus™, previously known as HBC 692, is a variety from the Hop Breeding Company, which is a joint venture between John I. Haas and Yakima Chief Ranches. It is the result of a hybrid pollination of the Sabro™ and open pollination.
The aroma of Talus™ has been described as "intense flavors of citrus, flowers, and wood... with grapefruit, stone fruit, oak, coconut, and pine." The pine stands out as a great way to make the best Pacific Northwest IPA.

Tettnang Hops - Pellets (Germany)
Tettnanger is also a name for Swiss, US and Australian varieties as well, but the foreign breeds are mixed with Fuggle and not considered a true Tettnanger. The true Tettnang Tettnanger is grown only around its native village of Tettnang in Germany. It is considered a noble aroma hop and has been compared to both Hallertauer and Saazer, but Tettnanger has notably more farnesene content than Hallertauer. They carry a distinct floral and spicy aroma, and, despite the low alpha acids (up to 5%), they are considered to have a balanced “hoppy flavor.”

Wakatu Hops - Pellets (NZ)
Wakatu (aka Hallertau Aroma) is a New Zealand hop with a lot going for it! An alpha to beta acids ratio of 1:1, along with low cohumulone, are accompanied by nicely balanced oils which give this an understated floral aroma atop fresh lime. Alpha acids average 9%, so it makes for an outstanding dual-use hop. It can be added at any stage of the process from first wort to dry hopping. It has also been noted for its flavor stability. The cultivar is 2/3 Hallertauer Mittelfrüher and 1/3 New Zealand male.
