Brewing has come a long way, baby. But the beer world wouldn’t be the incredibly rich and varied playground it is today without the classic European styles that started it all. And you can’t talk about the classics without celebrating the Noble family of hops that made them possible.
Prized for the smooth bitterness, distinct floral and spicy aromatics and low alpha acids, Noble hops have another crucial claim to fame. They all come with a rich pedigree…harvested from the region where they first originated. And because the flavor of these hops change if you try to grow them anywhere else, that means when you brew with Noble hops, you’re getting an absolute original.
So grab your lederhosen or an imperial pint glass and get ready to embrace and enjoy the roots of brewing with your own authentic pilsners, helles and alt beers…or your own unique twist on a tradition!
