New kid on the block - Bravo hops
Drake's is one of my favorite local beers. Recently I found an ad for their annual Washoes Tournament and Festival that will include 20 regional breweries who will all be pouring beers made from a single hop variety BRAVO. Apparently this hop variety is very new and difficult to find any information on. Hopsteiner (S.S Steiner) has the patent application for this variety, however their website makes no mention of the variety. Googling has provided little information, other than it being a cross breed and very high in alpha acids. I'll keep a lookout for it (I know Jenny Talley at Squatters is using it in her Rye beer). More to come as I learn about this new mystery hop...please feel free to comment if you have the scoop!Labels: Industry news, ingredients
