Hallertau Tradition is a Hüll-bred fine aroma hop originating from Hallertau Mittelfrüher, Hallertauer Gold and Saaz. Bred specifically for fungus and disease resistance, it succeeded in that effort and also features higher alpha acids than its parent varieties, low cohumulone and higher myrcene. It was released for commercial production in 1989. Its oil profile contributes to a wonderfully earthy and …
Helga
Helga is an Australian cultivar, formerly known as Southern Hallertau. Helga was bred by Hop Products Australia from Hallertau Mittelfrüher in an effort to dissect and retain its Hallertau’s characteristic noble aroma. Helga is easy to work with—no matter at what point she is added into the brew, even when dry hopping, the results are said to be ever pleasant. …
Hersbrucker
German hop Hersbrucker was originally bred with the intention of producing a variety resistant to verticillium wilt that could act as a replacement for Hallertau Mittelfrüh. Hersbrucker reached the height of it’s popularity in the 1970’s and 1980’s but despite that, Germany’s overall production of this hop today still exceeds 1000 metric tons each year. It can even be found …
Hersbrucker E
Hersbrucker E (for England) was planted and grown at Wye College, England in the 1970’s. It is largely identical to the original Hersbrucker variety grown in the Hersbruck Mountains.

Hersbrucker Pure
The offspring of Hallertauer Mittelfrüh, Saaz and a wild German hop, Hersbrucker Pure was originally tested by brewing giant Anheuser Busch as a replacement for Hersbrucker. After their interest waned in the variety, it failed to catch on as a viable commercial prospect. It has an noble aroma and flavor profile similar to that of its parents. Want this hop? …
Hersbrucker Red-Stem
Hersbrucker Red-Stem is, as I’m sure you guessed, so named due to its red stem. All Hersbruckers have red stems, but in this variety it is even more distinct. It is a clonal offshoot of Hersbrucker, supposedly with a higher alpha acid potential. Hersbrucker clones have declined in production over the years since their introduction in the 1980’s. This is …

Hybrid-2
Hybrid-2 was developed in South Africa in the early 1940’s. Thought to be an open-pollinated seedling of California Cluster, it was discontinued in South Africa in 1964 due to low yields. It is however still produced commercially in Cashmere, India where it shows significantly better yields. Want this hop? Browse our recommended stockists below. Also Known As Hybrid Characteristics Purpose …
Janus
Selected at Wye College, England in the 1950’s, Janus was originally praised for its early harvest qualities. Its extremely low yield however led it to being discarded as a commercial prospect in 1992. To date, it has never been used for breeding either. It is a cross between a Eastwell Golding, a New Mexico Wild American hop and other unspecified …
Keyworth’s Early
Keyworth’s Early is a venerable old English hop which was, for a while, discontinued from production due to low yield. Raised at Wye College, England in the 1920’s, it was rushed into production on the back of Dr. W. G. Keyworth’s research in the 1940’s after Verticillium wilt became a major problem in parts of Kent. Due to its promising …
