Northern Brewer Hops - Fresh Pellets - 1oz

Northern Brewer is a classic hop variety known for its distinctive woody and herbal character. Originally developed in England and later widely grown in both Europe and the United States, it has become a staple hop in many traditional beer recipes.

Brewers often describe Northern Brewer hops as producing notes of evergreen, mint, herbal spice, and subtle citrus. These qualities give beers a distinctive complexity that pairs well with malt-forward styles.

Northern Brewer performs well for bittering additions while also contributing unique flavor and aroma when used later in the brewing process.

Northern Brewer hops are commonly used in traditional beer styles where balanced bitterness and distinctive herbal character are desired.

Ideal for:

• California Common (Steam Beer)
• Altbier
• ESB
• Porter
• Bock
• Munich Dunkel

Northern Brewer pairs well with noble hops such as Hallertau and Tettnang when brewing traditional European-style beers.

• Add early in the boil for smooth bittering
• Use mid-boil additions to enhance herbal and woody hop flavor
• Add late in the boil to develop aroma complexity
• Use small dry hop additions for subtle herbal character
• Store sealed in the freezer to preserve hop oils and freshness

Northern Brewer hops are especially well known for their role in California Common (Steam Beer), where they provide the style’s signature minty and woody hop character.
