Yakima Valley Hops

Idaho Gem™ is a found variety from Gooding Farms in Parma, Idaho. It bursts with bright, candy-like red cherries, sweet pineapple and grapefruit. Idaho Gem™ is also backed by light herbal notes like mint and green tea that allow it to shine beyond hazy IPAs and other fruit-driven styles. Though it can hold its own as a single hop, Idaho Gem also complements familiar favorites like Citra® and Mosaic®. Candy-bright flavor with unexpected depth, ideal for late additions and dry-hopping.

Lórien® is a new variety from Indie Hops, released in 2021. A cross between Sterling and a German male, Lórien was bred to challenge lager hop norms, leaning less on traditional noble flavor and more on fruity, floral character. Channeling “a feeling of a summer meadow,” Lórien delivers citrus zest, fresh melon, sweet hay and wildflower aroma. This low alpha variety is designed to complement rather than overpower, making it a natural fit for a wide range of malt and hop bills — especially in lagers, pilsners, low-ABV ales and other crushable beers. A New World meadow in every pour.

Meridian® was released in 2015 by Oregon’s Indie Hops. With low alpha acids (5–6.5%), Meridian offers unique flavors of sugary Meyer lemon, boysenberry, and fruit punch. These bright notes are especially at home in wheat beers, saisons and hazy IPAs. Known as a “top-note” hop, Meridian works best when paired with other complementary varieties. The sprinkle on top to your hop bill, Meridian adds lift and personality to any fruit-forward beer.

Founded in 2020, the Michael James Jackson Foundation is a grant-making organization that funds scholarship awards for people of color pursuing careers in the brewing and distilling trades. This exclusive blend was created by the MJF board members at an event hosted by Brooklyn Brewery, where sixteen different varieties were evaluated, blended, and narrowed down to a winning blend of select lots. The final, fruit-forward blend features Citra®, Citra LUPOMAX®, Elani® and El Dorado®, including select Citra lots from our friends at Loza Farms — the only Latino-owned hop farm in the nation.

Mosaic Hops 16oz / 2023

Another USDA classic with Hallertau heritage, Mt. Hood was released in 1989 as a triploid daughter to Hallertau Mittelfrüh. Known as an aroma hop with smooth bittering and a delicate flavor profile with spicy, lemongrass, and herbal notes, it’s a versatile choice for German-style lagers and traditional ales. In good company among German-derived, American lager hops, Mt. Hood is a half-sister to Liberty and Crystal. A clean, classic aroma hop with timeless versatility.
