Description: Through every iteration of our growth over the last demi-decade, one thing that has persisted throughout is this brewery’s love of hops, and how we’ve born an entire business that now looks after the livelihoods of fourteen team members from this love. The Hop Studio felt like a natural extension of this love – showcasing the single most complex, wonderfully diverse ingredient we use in our process bar none. A creation of New Zealand’s HortResearch breeding program as a cross between a Smoothcone Cali and English Fuggle hop, don’t let the unfashionable lineage fool you; this variety has been a serious groundbreaker since its release almost thirty years ago. With insanely high alpha acid and cohumulone levels unique to itself, this hop was new school before new school had any kind of definition. Expect a bucket load of lemon zest spritziness, paired with pine needles and a pleasant soft bitterness running throughout.
