Krush (HBC 586) Hops - Fresh Pellets - 1oz

Krush® HBC 586 Hops are a newly released American variety from the Hop Breeding Company (a joint venture between John I. Haas and Yakima Chief Ranches). Formerly known as HBC 586, this hop was officially released in 2024 after a 17-year development process and has quickly become a standout for its bold, fruit-forward character.

Brewers describe Krush as delivering a layered mix of citrus, tropical, stone fruit, and berry aromas. Expect vibrant notes of mango, guava, peach, and ripe orange, supported by mixed berries and a light resinous edge. This “fruit cocktail in cone form” creates a complex, punchy profile that’s both juicy and slightly dank, with broad appeal across a wide range of beer styles.

Krush is an incredibly versatile hop that performs well in everything from hop-forward IPAs to more balanced styles. It shines in late boil additions, whirlpool hopping, and dry hopping, where its saturated fruit character and aromatic intensity can fully develop. Whether used on its own or in combination with other varieties, Krush delivers bold, expressive hop flavor that stands out in the glass.

Krush hops are widely used in modern hop-forward beer styles where bold aroma and assertive hop flavor are key.

Ideal for:

• American IPA
• Hazy IPA
• Double IPA
• West Coast IPA
• Pale Ale

Krush pairs well with hops such as Citra, Mosaic, Simcoe, and Strata to create layered tropical and dank hop profiles in modern IPA recipes.

• Add early in the boil for firm clean bittering
• Use late boil additions to enhance tropical and dank hop flavor
• Add during whirlpool or hop stand to maximize tropical aroma
• Dry hop generously to develop bold dank and citrus aromatics
• Store sealed in the freezer to preserve freshness and hop oils

Krush works well in both hazy and West Coast IPAs, especially when blended with Citra, Mosaic, and Simcoe for vibrant, layered hop character.
