Varieties

There are many varieties of hops throughout the world. Each variety has a distinctive signature combining cultivation qualities, bitterness, flavor and aroma, lending uniqueness to the beer in which it is used. Until the middle of this century, the traditional European hop-growing areas each grew one variety only, based on agricultural and climatic conditions. The variety that proved most prolific and hardy when grown in a particular soil and climate became dominant.
