HALLERTAUER TRADITION

The German Legacy in Professional Brewing

Hallertauer Tradition, sourced from Grainrus Khmel, represents a gold standard in the world of aromatic hops. Originally bred in the Hallertau region as a successor to the renowned Mittelfrüh, this variety has been successfully localized, retaining its delicate flavor profile while proving its worth in professional production. It has become a cornerstone for brewers looking for a reliable, classic aromatic base for their lagers and ales.

Agronomic Resilience

For growers and suppliers, the key appeal of this variety lies in its robust agronomic profile. Grainrus Khmel ensures that the cultivation process leverages the plant’s natural resistance to common hop diseases, significantly reducing the need for intensive fungicide applications. The variety demonstrates exceptional tolerance to:

• Verticillium wilt;
• Peronospora (downy mildew);
• Powdery mildew.

This level of resilience ensures consistent yield and quality, which is vital for maintaining a steady supply chain.

Sensory Profile and Brewing Application

With an alpha-acid content ranging from 4% to 6%, Hallertauer Tradition is primarily an aroma hop. It delivers a sophisticated and balanced sensory experience:

• Aroma: Distinctly herbal with delicate fruity nuances.
• Usage: Perfect for late-boil additions and dry hopping to enhance the bouquet without overpowering bitterness.

It is the go-to hop for traditional German-style beers, including Helles, Pilsners, and Wheat beers. Its refined, noble character adds complexity to the malt base, ensuring the final product remains clean, crisp, and refreshing.

By choosing Hallertauer Tradition from Grainrus Khmel, brewers invest in a premium ingredient that combines European brewing traditions with modern production standards, ensuring predictability and excellence in every batch.
