We offer the widest range of Hops in the UK. From this range you, the brewer, can create your own, distinctive style of beer. Please scroll down or choose the Style from the list below. On most varieties you can click onthe name to get more details. Alternatively here is the full brochure. (PDF 418k). If you would like more information on any of these varieties please contact us. Some UK, New Zealand and German varieties are available as organic hops. Where this is the case we have included notes in the details. The general feeling in the USA is that organic hop growing does not pay sufficient premium to make it viable. There have been small experiments with Cascade hops, but this only produced 2 crops in 8 years, with low yields at around 6 bales.
