This is the first homogenized pellet blend to be commercially produced from Hopsteiner. As a grower and hop breeder founded in 1845, some may ask, “why the long wait?” Hop breeding is no easy task. It is a long and slow road, but necessary from both a competitive and sustainability standpoint. Breeding our own unique varieties has provided us with a flavor foundation in which we can mix and match more efficiently for target aroma and flavor specifications. We now have over ten unique hop varieties that provide their own unique aroma and flavor characteristic. Through sensory and chemical analysis we are now not only able to breed for unique attributes, but blend for them too.
