New Zealand Hops

New Zealand has been growing hops since the late 1800s, but it wasn’t until the 1980s that they began to gain recognition for their unique flavour profile. That’s when a group of farmers in the Nelson region of New Zealand began experimenting with new hop varieties, which eventually led to the development of some of the most sought-after hops in the world. Today, New Zealand hops are in high demand among craft brewers, thanks to their intense fruity and floral flavours, as well as their high alpha acid content.

Couple that with the fact that New Zealand growers are constantly striving to find new and interesting hop cultivars to push those flavour boundaries – it’s no wonder they’re the go-to hop of choice for craft brewers.

New Zealand is known for producing some of the most distinctive and flavourful hops in the world. Thanks to the country’s unique climate and soil conditions, New Zealand hops offer a range of flavours and aromas that are unmatched by any other hop-growing region. Born amidst the lush landscapes and pristine air of New Zealand’s hop-growing regions, this blend brings together the finest hops—Nelson Sauvin, Nectaron, Riwaka, Motueka, and Moutere — into a symphony of flavour that will elevate your brewing to new heights.
