Hops

Delve into a world of flavors and aromas with notes of floral, fruity, citrus, and earthy notes

What are Hops

Hops, a modern key ingredient in the beer brewing process. Hops are the flowers (seed cones or strobiles) of the hop plant and are used primarily as a bittering, flavoring, and stability agent in beer. These small, green, cone-shaped flowers add a variety of flavors and aromas to beer, such as floral, fruity, citrus, and earthy notes.

Hops also act as a natural preservative, helping to extend the shelf life of beer and prevent spoilage. With over a hundred different varieties of hops available, brewers have endless possibilities to create unique and delicious beers.
