BRU-1 Hops - Fresh Pellets - 1oz

BRU-1 is an American hop variety developed through open pollination at Brulotte Farms in Toppenish, Washington. It has gained rapid popularity among craft brewers for its intense pineapple-forward aroma and clean bittering profile.

Brewers often describe BRU-1 hops as delivering bold pineapple, pear, and apple flavors with fresh cut grass character and a smooth, clean bitterness. This expressive hop profile makes it especially popular in modern hazy IPAs and tropical-themed beers. BRU-1 has also been shown to improve haze stability in certain beer styles.

BRU-1 performs exceptionally well in whirlpool additions and dry hopping where its intense pineapple and tropical aromatics can fully develop. It pairs well with Citra, Loral, Chinook, and Sabro to create layered fruit-forward hop character.

BRU-1 hops are widely used in modern hop-forward beer styles where tropical fruit aroma and bold flavor are key.

Ideal for:

• Hazy IPA
• New England IPA (NEIPA)

BRU-1 pairs especially well with Sabro, Citra, and Mosaic to create layered tropical and pineapple-forward hop profiles in modern IPA recipes.
