New hops

This weekend I heard from a grower about 3 new hop varieties we’ll see in the next year or two. Sadly, the details were obscure, but it sounds like Sierra Nevada will be one of the first brewing with the “Bravo” hop. Another talked about the success of of their Summits, which are now being used in Widmer’s W’07. Quite tasty.

  1. Did you hear when consumers might be able to purchase either variety? I tried to find Summit from several sources this year and wasn’t able to.

  2. I think I’m going to buy a bunch of Cascade and rename it “Jonathan’s Badass Hops.” How’s THAT for a new variety?
