German Hops
German Hops Collection
German hops are the benchmark everything else gets measured against. Grown in the Hallertau region and other historic growing areas that have been producing world-class hops for centuries, these varieties set the standard for clean, refined bitterness and balanced aroma.
The Noble hops — Hallertau Mittelfrüh, Tettnanger, Spalt, and Hersbrucker — are the backbone of some of the world's most iconic beer styles. American craft brewers have long relied on them for authentic lagers, pilsners, and kölsch, and the current resurgence of American lager brewing has made German hops more relevant than ever.
What German hops bring to your brew:
- Signature floral, herbal, and spiced profiles with soft, refined bitterness
- Low to moderate alpha acids ideal for balance and elegance
- Essential for pilsners, lagers, bocks, hefeweizens, and kölsch
- Classic late-addition and dry-hop performance for delicate aromatics
From the tried-and-true classics to newer German cultivars, this collection gives you precision, tradition, and consistency in every batch.
